[CHADS]

Would I be right in thinking that as an object accelerates its kinetic Energy increases .. and its this Energy which Contributes to its Gravitational potential?

So the faster an object travels the more mass it seems to have so gravity and velocity are similar in some fashion?

Whilst moving at large velocities or in greater gravitational wells ;The whole clock and its working mechanisms and moments are dimensionally restricted in doing what it would do if it was on earth. The clocks Mechenisms and moments on Earth would be the comparible clock.

Now in comparison on Earth to a clock taken away at 90% speed of light Its Mechanisms and moments would be restricted litrally in dimension. Like a funnel .
A snooker ball can whirl around the top of a funnel .. but one that is deeper in the funnel is heavily restricted in its movement and could only make smaller whirls in relation to the ball at the top of the funnel.

So when the ball Travelling at 90% C at the bottom of the funnel returns to earth
Which is represented at the top of the funnel It has only been moving at small circles ... in comparison to the clock on earth ... So Shows a lesser time.

The ball has mass so cant pass straight through the funnel but a photon is massless and can occupy the stem of the funnel .

Hope this Abstract concept helps in explaining something.
