Now this sounds like a real time problem, to one of these people what time it is will be far more important than it will be to the other. Hmmm.... I guess time really is reletive
I couldn't help my self Modest, it just seemed so obvious that time would indeed be a probelm in this context. On the other hand if the gravity well was deep enough (black hole) it wouldn't matter to either one of them would it? Both situations would last forever from each others point of view.
