What about the acceleration at the very center of the earth, I know It cancels but is time dilated even slower than on the surface or does dilation cancel too? Regards Fran

And that acceleration will not conform to an inverse of the square of the distance law. Which proves my point: you cannot make assumptions based on Newton's law for distances smaller than R(where R is the radius of the greater of the masses). That is, you cannot deduct behaviour for a system, with a set of rules that are outside their contourn conditions. Which was exactly what I was trying to show.
