You are not accelerating away from a gravity source the clock is falling towards. These are 2 separate experiments related toEinstein's thought experiment about either being in an elevator and being subjected to uniform acceleration in free space (no gravity). OR being in an elevator sitting on the ground. You can't tell which test you are undergoing everything seems identical, So I am adding a test, you drop a clock, the instant the clock on the accelerating elevator is let go of it assume a constant relative velocity to every other object in space that is confusingly termed an inertial reference frame, it is no longer accelerated. It can not be readily justified to experience time dilation from acceleration it isn't undergoing. So either the same happens in the elevator test on the planet in the gravity field also (which would be very dramatic in a black holes time dilation field) OR it doesn't and the equivalence principle falls over, at least wounded. As far as I am aware and can tell from looking, neither conclusion is expected, but one must be true, or something even stranger that is also not predicted a time dilation aura effecting objects around an accelerating object. The rest you wrote as far as I could tell did not relate to what I am proposing. John
