I have already explained to you why I do not answer: Einsteinians have
been lying for more than fifty years and there is no reason to believe
that they are honest now and do not lie about GPS satellite clocks for
instance. But since zombies can only be discouraged by making them
explain things, why don't you consider the following text:

The precision of GPS measurements is so great that it requires the
application of Albert Einstein’s special and general theories of
relativity for the reduction of its measurements. Professor Carroll
Alley of the University of Maryland once articulated the significance
of this fact at a scientific conference devoted to time measurement in
1979. He said, “I think it is appropriate ... to realize that the
first practical application of Einstein’s ideas in actual engineering
situations are with us in the fact that clocks are now so stable that
one must take these small effects into account in a variety of systems
that are now undergoing development or are actually in use in
comparing time worldwide. It is no longer a matter of scientific
interest and scientific application, but it has moved into the realm
of engineering necessity.” According to relativity theory, a moving
clock appears to run slow with respect to a similar clock that is at
rest. This effect is called “time dilation.” In addition, a clock in a
weaker gravitational potential appears to run fast in comparison to
one that is in a stronger gravitational potential. This gravitational
effect is known in general as the “red shift” (only in this case it is
actually a “blue shift”).

Are you sure that "red shift" is the result of gravitational time
dilation? Isn't it the result of the variability of the speed of light
in a gravitational field? See the following text and try to give a
straightfoward answer to the above questions:

http://www.blazelabs.com/f-g-gcont.asp "The first confirmation of a
long range variation in the speed of light travelling in space came in
1964. Irwin Shapiro, it seems, was the first to make use of a
previously forgotten facet of general relativity theory -- that the
speed of light is reduced when it passes through a gravitational
field....Faced with this evidence, Einstein stated:"In the second
place our result shows that, according to the general theory of
relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in
vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the
special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently
referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of
light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light
varies with position."......Today we find that since the Special
Theory of Relativity unfortunately became part of the so called
mainstream science, it is considered a sacrilege to even suggest that
the speed of light be anything other than a constant. This is somewhat
surprising since even Einstein himself suggested in a paper "On the
Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light," Annalen der
Physik, 35, 1911, that the speed of light might vary with the
gravitational potential. Indeed, the variation of the speed of light
in a vacuum or space is explicitly shown in Einstein's calculation for
the angle at which light should bend upon the influence of gravity.
One can find his calculation in his paper. The result is c'=c(1+V/c^2)
where V is the gravitational potential relative to the point where the
measurement is taken. 1+V/c^2 is also known as the GRAVITATIONAL
REDSHIFT FACTOR."
