So you are saying gravity is direcly raleted to time.  If it were
acceleration wouldn't a 10,000 meter point be moving faster than a point
close to the core due to the rotation of the earth?  Remember that there
is just as much presure pushing you away from the center of the earth as
there is pulling you toward, hence you do not move.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
