Physical changes in material systems located where rg<1
     Figure 10 shows a reference frame at rest in the qm in which a huge mass of 5·1037 kga is located 500 LS from the origin in the -z direction. According to Eqs. (33) and (37), rg and cag in Fig. 10 are .8 and .64 ca respectively. A round-trip light signal from the origin to the 1 LS location on the x axis takes (2/rg2) sa, similar to reference frame B in Fig. 1 where a round-trip light signal to the 1 LS (not 1 ls) location on the x axis takes (2/rv2) sa. As in reference frame B in Fig. 1, the energy exchange rate in any body in the reference frame of Fig. 10 is in proportion to the physical change ratio. The rates of all processes and clocks are slowed in proportion to rg. This is consistent with experimental evidence. An atomic clock at a 1500 m elevation on Earth runs .000005 s per year faster than a clock near sea level, reflecting the difference in rg.
     The 1 ls locations in Fig. 10 are rg LS away from the origin of the reference frame because photons travel along the axes with a velocity rg2 times ca, but 1 s on a clock used to determine a 1 ls length is (1/rg) sa. Therefore, a ls in the reference frame, or the length of a body in the reference frame, is only rg as large as it would be in a qm location where rg=1.
     In Fig. 4 we considered the effect of rv on the energy of photons moving between an atom at the origin of a reference frame and an atom at a 1 ls location. We can do the same for rg in Fig. 10 where the atoms emit photons every (.2/rg) sa rather than every .2 sa as in reference frame A of Fig. 4. These photons, traveling at rg2 ca, take (1/rg) sa to reach their destination rg LS away. Therefore, the same number of photons are traveling along the axes of the reference frame in Fig. 10 as in reference frame A of Fig. 4 where rg=1. But in Fig. 10 the photons have only rg times the rg=1 frequency and energy. Therefore, the energy and equivalent mass of a body in the reference frame of Fig. 10 is only rg as great as when the body is at rest in the qm where rg=1.
