What Causes Gravitational Time Dilation? A Physical Explanation.

Clocks in a gravitational field tick more slowly -- but why? What causes their rates to be slowed by the precise amount that they are? According to modern physics, such answers can only be extracted from within the abstract and insuperably mathematical depths of the infamous Einstein equation... but what if there were a simpler route? Join us as we take a single daring leap of physical intuition that may just change how we understand gravity forever...
