Star time

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-17 5:22

If I've understood the general theory of relativity, gravity "slows" light, and thus also time. So for a star, is there a significant difference in time difference between the core and the "surface" and does this have anything to say for a star's workings?

How do you measure/count time for a star? Does our system based on 133Caesium half-life work (months/years/millenia)?

Obviously he meant the Earth's surface, as he said "compared to ... the Earth's surface".

So stop being a pedantic dick.  I don't happen to know the answer to that.
