The rate at which an atomic clock ticks is determined by the state of the aether in which it exists. Atomic clocks in regions of space with no gravitational fields move with respect to the state of the aether. The faster an atomic clock moves with respect to the state of the aether the more aether the clock displaces the more the displaced aether exerts force towards and throughout the atomic clock the slower the clock ticks. What is gravitational potential? It is the force exerted by the displaced aether towards the matter doing the displacing. Moving with respect to the state of the aether is no different. 'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein' http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html "the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places, ... disregarding the causes which condition its state." The state of the aether at every place determined by its connections with the matter and the state of the ether in neighboring places is the state of displacement of the aether. Now, before I get banned for mentioning the aether, I was answering a specific question as to what is the physical state of the space which causes atomic clocks to tick at different rates which I have answered.The physical state of the space is the state of displacement of the aether. If you are not allowed to answer specific questions then this forum should not exist. Your turn to answer a question. If you apply enough heat to an atomic clock it ticks faster. Has time changed? What is the difference between apply heat to an atomic clock which causes it to tick faster and a change in gravitational potential which causes it to tick faster where one is simply a change in the physical state of the atomic clock and the other causes time to change? You need to move away from the math and understand the physics of nature to understand what I am stating. Hiding your head in the math in order to not understand what occurs physically in nature is just silly. The physical state of the space in which an atomic clock exists is the state of displacement of the aether.

The state of the aether at every place determined by its connections with the matter and the state of the aether in neighboring places is the state of displacement of the aether. It is the state of displacement of the aether which exerts force towards and throughout an atomic clock which determines the rate at which the clock ticks.

If you own a battery operated clock and it ticks slower has time changed? Of course not. if you heat up an atomic clock and cause it to tick faster has time changed? Of course not. Why are you unable to understand the rate at which an atomic clock ticks is determined by the physical state of the space in which it exists?

Are you suggesting if you exited the space station in what you are wearing right now you would not be affected by the physical state of the space in which you existed? The fact that there is no oxygen and the pressure is so low would not affect you physically at all? Of course not. Why is it only an atomic clock is the only thing which exists that we know of which is not affected by the physical state of the space in which it exists? Because it is. The rate at which an atomic clock ticks is determined by the physical state of the space in which it exists. Just like all other physical processes.

This stuff is extremely intuitive. All that needs to occur in order to correctly understand the relationship between the rate at which atomic clocks tick and time is to correctly define what a second is. The present definition is: the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom. The correct definition is: the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom [at sea level].

That is exactly what this thread is about. The whole point of this thread is the rate at which clocks tick has nothing to do with time. Perhaps you'd like to re-read the posts by owl. Especially the ones where owl states they agree with much of what I say. Or the ones where owl states the Earth orbiting the Sun is a more correct clock than an atomic clock, which I agree with. I take it you didn't notice this is my third username tonight?

I am saying the gravitational effect on an atomic clock is the measured and predicted gravitational time dilation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation#Gravitational_time_dilation "Gravitational time dilation There is another case of time dilation, where both observers are differently situated in their distance from a significant gravitational mass, such as (for terrestrial observers) the Earth or the Sun. One may suppose for simplicity that the observers are at relative rest (which is not the case of two observers both rotating with the Earth—an extra factor described below). In the simplified case, the general theory of relativity describes how, for both observers, the clock that is closer to the gravitational mass, i.e. deeper in its "gravity well", appears to go slower than the clock that is more distant from the mass (or higher in altitude away from the center of the gravitational mass). That does not mean that the two observers fully agree: each still makes the local clock to be correct; the observer more distant from the mass (higher in altitude) measures the other clock (closer to the mass, lower in altitude) to be slower than the local correct rate, and the observer situated closer to the mass (lower in altitude) measures the other clock (farther from the mass, higher in altitude) to be faster than the local correct rate. They agree at least that the clock nearer the mass is slower in rate and on the ratio of the difference." The only reason for each observer to make the local clock to be correct is because they are unable or unwilling to understand the rate at which an atomic clock ticks is determined by the physical state of the space in which it exists. If you own a battery operated clock and it ticks slower has time changed or do you replace the batteries? You replace the batteries because you understand what occurred physically in nature to cause the battery operated clock to tick slower. Now, you may say an atomic clock is more accurate than a battery operated clock. The Earth orbiting the Sun clock is more accurate than an atomic clock. As I am going to be banned. This is my last post.
