I am not totally sure what I am trying to ask, but wondering about gravity at the center of a massive object such as the sun, earth, highly massive star. If you look at the time dilation at the center vs the surface or far in space time at the center time is running slowest. Now obviously for person at the center he will still see his clock ticking normally, and the other clocks running faster.
Now it seems there also has to be some sort of "length contraction" though it doesn't seem the same as length contraction in SR. More that there is more space crammed into a small space. Where the person far away in space would see a meter stick in the center of the massive object looking smaller than their meter stick. The person in the center would see an opposite effect.
Are these correct or where am I going wrong?
