Dismounting Einstein. Gravity does not affect time

Today I want to dismount two conclusions Einstein arrived to.
Gravity does not really affect time, but gravity affects clocks. And people grow older near the surface of Earth more than living on the top of a mountain.

Suppose we have to identical clocks very accurate. One to a high of 50 km above the surface of the Earth. An another one on the floor. The clock on the floor always will mark that has passed less time that the time that marks the clock at the high. This not necessarily indicates that time pass at different rates but gravity can affect performance of clocks. Gravity force is stronger at sea level than at high because it is inversely proportional to the squared distance that separates the gravity centers of two corps. The corp at high is farther of the center of the Earth than a corp at see level so attraction force is less strong.

They say that has been proved trough several experiments that a very accurate atomic clock at high advances more than a clock at sea level, but who can say that the clock at high is marking an accurate measurement if it is affected by a lesser gravity force. Suppose that the measurement is incorrect and really have passed the same time.

Michel Jordan passed more time in the air than the others
For test this we could take the same clock to a zero gravity  zone an see what it marks without being affected by gravity. That would be a neutral time so to speak. We will see that the other clocks (on the floor and at high) vary his mark compared to that, but the real time is the one on zero gravity, if this clock is prepared for being used under that conditions. And there the second fallacy that I have heard so many times, that time passes slower for a person who lives at see level than for one who lives at the top of a mountain. Time has passed exactly equal for all of them but probably the person on the floor, subjected to more gravity force will have grown older. It is more difficult for a person to go to take, for example, a pencil in next room of a house if he is subjected to double gravity force than if he is subjected to simple gravity force. The thing is going to take more time or energy under double gravity force.

The same passes to clocks, it is more difficult on the case of a traditional clock to move its clock hands under more gravity force, hence the variation on its marks. It is the same if the clock is an atomic one because atoms weigh too.

So we've dismounting to fallacies:

Time is not affected by gravity, but clocks are affected by gravity and
People does not grew older on the high, people grew older at sea level in any case.


Note: the exposed above are personal musings and are not yet proved.
