Hello everyone,
I was doing my Physics homework and a question arose from it: if a mass affects time there is a difference in the time measured near different masses. However if there was no mass at all?
Let's pretend this is possible just for theoretical purposes, a perfectly flat space-time. In this situation time would not pass at all.
So how can light travel through such regions? (I know there is not such a thing in the Universe but intergalactical space may have very little space-time distortion.)
Just to confirm if my understanding is correct: time would pass slower near the Sun than near the Earth? (imagine they are both static, they do not have either translation or rotation)
Thank you very much!
