Why does mass slow time?

[4Tesla]

The clocks on Earth/Space digital?  Maybe electrons flow faster without gravity (or mass)?  If you have a mechanical clock on Earth and in Space synchronized.. I bet they stay synchronized.

A clock is a mechanical device that measures time. If a mechanical clock speeds up or slows down because of some external force so what. Maybe it rained today. There is no space time connection.

Digital clocks are not mechanical.

Will you tell that to my boss.

It looks interesting.If time could be slowed down.It could also be speeded up?Maybe we could extract energy from different time flows?Take a difference between the two.If I could figure out how to turn a linear motion into a circular one I might have a force field that could be placed around a person to protect him or her against harm.I can stress space with a linear motion already using electric charges(capacitors).If I can turn that motion into a circular one.Then I might be able to slow time down far enough so that even light can't get through.Just an idea I had from the 1980's.triffid

PS.
The closest I came to it was a method of grinding grain where cattle or oxen move around in a circle
but their(circular) motion is converted into a linear motion(back and forth ) to grind the grain.I could not figure how to do the reverse(go from linear to circular).

LMFAO.  An atomic clock is not a mechanical or digital device.  An atomic clock is a clock that uses the resonance frequencies of atoms as its resonator. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the resonator is "regulated by the frequency of the microwave electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by the quantum transition (energy change) of an atom or molecule. For more information on atomic clocks, refer to wikipedia.

I automaticly assumed this would be understood.  In the very first mention of a clock I did mention atomic clock, and in other places I did not add atomic before the clock. Please note: All mentions of clocks is referring to atomic clocks.
