Yes. According to the theory of general relativity, gravity is the result of matter (and more specifically energy) bending space and time.

Concretely this means that time slows down there where gravity is stronger. This implies that time goes quicker for someone in an airplane than for someone on the ground (who is thus deeper in the gravity well of Earth), and this effect has actually been measured. The effect is very tiny because gravity isn't very strong here on Earth so we don't notice it ourselves, but using atomic clocks we can measure it, and it agrees with what Einstein predicted.

In fact the GPS satallites had to have been corrected because their clocks ticked somewhat quicker than those on Earth!

As an extreme example, at the horizon of a black hole the force of gravity is so huge that time stops completely there.

What is the effect of emfs on gravity?

good one ! for me Gravity does not exist is simple an effect of EMF ! EMF creates space-time all that is.


Does the international dateline have gravity?

The international dateline has normal gravity; our time zone conventions have no effect on the gravity of the planet Earth.


How does gravitational force effect time?

Under normal circumstances the effect is not noticeable. It is only when gravity is extreme does it make a discernible effect, which is to slow time.


How acceleration effect gravity?

Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.


Discuss the effect of weight on gravity?

It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.

Would it be possible to bend time if one were able to manipulate gravity?

It would not be possible to bend time even if you could manipulate gravity because gravity relies on the earths magnetic core, as gravity dose on any planet. If it were possible to manipulate gravity you could in theory change the mass of an object, but gravity has no effect on time. Time is something humans you to measure events and the duration between them. Time itself is not a thing, nor is it an event, in itself not measurable thus making time travel or the bending of time not possible.


How are gravity and weight related?

weight is the effect caused by gravity. if gravity increases, so does your weight!

Is time constant throughout the universe?

Time is not constant throughout the universe. It can be affected by factors such as gravity and velocity, as predicted by the theory of relativity. This means that time can pass at different rates in different regions of the universe.
