Clocks tick fastest in their rest frame. This is unique to the particular clock, but not among all clocks. No contradiction exists here. [[User:TylerGD|TylerGD]] 10:29, 11 August 2010 (EDT)

Phyllis (and any other interested parties, of course):  You might want to take a look at the [[General theory of relativity]] page.  I think you will be able to follow much of it.  In particular, the "Coordinate Systems and Spacetime Diagrams" section is along the lines of what I discussed above.  A better name for it might be "how the curvature of spacetime creates gravity".  The "Quantitative Introduction to General Relativity" is a link to a separate page, that might be better named "how matter makes spacetime curve.  The second of those is pretty daunting.  The first was clearly never finished.  A finished version seems to be on Wikiversity.
