The stronger the gravity, the bigger the dent in spacetime, and the slower time will run. GPS satellites in orbit experience less gravity than we do on Earth, so their time moves faster than ours. Their onboard atomic clocks have to be corrected for this, using Einstein’s equations. If not for these corrections, they’d be off by more than six miles after a single day.”
