You are so full of SHYTE your NOSE must smell bad.
Matter JUST SITTING THERE makes time flow to go slower, there does not have to be a second mass to make that happen.
MASS is what causes BOTH gravity and time 'dilation'. But Time dilation also happens with VELOCITY having NOTHING to do with mass, ANY mass going close to c will have the flow of time slow do ...[text shortened]... P Greene.
He brought up SR because there is this SLIGHT possibility you need to study it as well.
You are projecting again. Your religion has you rejecting prominent physicist Brian Green. You are so unreasonably dogmatic that if I could show a video of Einstein himself saying time dilation is gravity you would say he was full of it too.
Heck, I don't even know what you are talking about even you say a second mass. What does that have to do with anything? So you have another coincidence theory. Matter makes time go slower which we both agree on, yet you think it is just a coincidence that gravity and time dilation coincide.
Why do you insist Brian Greene is wrong? What do you have against him? Are you claiming he is a fraud spreading science misinformation? Have you ever considered the possibility you are spreading science misinformation?

Are all of these videos science misinformation? Space cannot bend without time dilation. Once again, why is the equivalence principal always explained in every film about GR? It is not a literal equivalence. We both know that. It is merely a thought experiment. If time dilation does not cause gravity why is the equivalence principal relevant?
Either the equivalence principal is a thought experiment that inspired Einstein to realize time dilation causes gravity or the equivalence principal is a completely irrelevant waste of time that people are hung up on. You apparently think it is the latter. Write PBS' Nova and tell them to stop wasting time with an irrelevant equivalence principal taking up time in their program. People are taking it too literally anyway. They think it is a true equivalence. We both know it is not.
