  • Matter always moves through time at the speed of light. Everything experiences their personal time the same way, regardless of gravity or acceleration.

    Gravity and acceleration change the relative time between different objects that are experiencing different gravity or acceleration from the observer.

    Actually, to answer your question as written… gravity does not bend time. Mass bends spacetime. Also, the acceleration of mass bends spacetime. Gravity is the result of mass moving through bent spacetime. What you feel as gravity is actually the force of the ground stopping you from falling further into the ‘gravity well’ of the planet. It’s the same as the centripetal force of a ball on a string spinning over your head.
