You're correct.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

"Gravitational time dilation is the effect of time passing at
different rates in regions of different gravitational potential; the
lower the gravitational potential (closer to the center of a massive
object), the more slowly clocks run."

The greater the aether pressure on the atom the closer to the
gravitational potential, the slower it oscillates.

What you said in your provious post was bullshit and now reversing
yourself in this post with more bullshit.

Did you watch the 30 minute Mechanical Universe video?


The Mechanical Universe series.
http://www.learner.org/resources/series42.html

42. The Lorentz Transformation
If the speed of light is to be the same for all observers, then
the length of a meter stick, or the rate of a ticking clock,
depends on who measures it.

I was incorrect about time and gravitational time dilation. No, I have
not watch the 30 minute Mechanical Universe video.

Have you figured out why my animation is correct when the medium is at
rest with regards to the train and when the medium is at rest with
regards to the embankment, but for some reason considered to be
incorrect by SR when there is no medium besides aether?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyWTaXMElUk

What has changed beside there being no medium besides aether in my
animation to cause it to go from being correct to incorrect?

What has changed is the state of rest of the medium in the animation,
which without any other medium is the state of rest of the aether.

My animation, and how the outcome changes due to there being no medium
at rest with regards to the train and no medium at rest with regards
to the embankment is because light travels at 'c' with regards to the
aether.

This is full-blown kookiness. You give an explanation based on your pet
aether theory (less pressure causes it to tick slower), you get told you
have it backwards, then you give an explanation of the corrected effect
because you now claim your aether has the exact opposite effect (greater
pressure causes it to tick slower). In other words, you obviously have no
idea what you're talking about, and are probably just making things up as
you go along.

You didn't answer the question.

The water is at rest relative to the embankment. Lightning strikes
occur at A/A' and B/B'.

Does the light travel from A' and B' to M' or does the light travel
from A and B to M'?
