Let's Talk About Hypothetical Time Travel

wow I just seen this post. uncanny ''timing'' no pun intended. I\we had a discussion with an retired Princeton Prof and no they didn't have crazy white hair, at a cook out this past summer. a old bet was mentioned and explained, she was then asked to confirm or laugh at this theory...
identical twins had a bunk bed, if they could somehow fall asleep at exactly the same moment, the one that sleeps on top would get more sleep than the other on the bottom....
confirmed. your proximity to a gravitational force can slow down time as we measure its passing or presents. she added that the old NASA space shuttle program. the crafts clocks would be synced to the national atomic clock on departure. upon return they where ever so slightly off. GPS satellites and anything orbiting is constantly being re set according to her.
relevance of gravity and time proception fascinating to say the least.
Even smaller things like the Egyptian pyramids affect time. For someone standing near one, time travels ever so much slower than someone standing in the distance.
