In general relativity, gravity
changes time. Gravitational
potential = - G M / R. Time
change r = At/t = A/c². A
satellite (e.g., GPS) orbits 21 km
above Earth surface, and gravity
at the satellites are a little different
from Earth surface. The distance
error is Ad = c At. Ad is
km in one day

* You embark on a round-trip journey to a star 11 light-years away, as measured in Earth's reference frame. You travel at a constant speed outbound, turn around rapidly, and travel back at constant speed.
If the round trip takes 15 years by your clock, (a) how fast do you travel and (b) what s the round-trip time as measured on Earth!
