Dave, does not a different direction of motion influence the duration of time over the same distance? If the answer is yes, then one may relate spatial distance to time. In terms of our frame of reference, a mile through space is a mile through space, whether through a dense gravity field or a weak one. You were a little rough on theunify, given that the interpretration of his words could be better served with a more liberal appreciation of their inference.
