No gravitation to be seen.

It runs somewhat slower than at my other favorite place,
halfway between Earth and Proxima.

There space is as flat as is gets. No gravitation to be seen either.

But then I realize this is the same thing as sitting at the center of
the Earth, enclosed by all the masses of the universe, as a shell around
me.

The shell of the Earth just slows my clock for a billionth more.
And it not gravitation, it is something that remains after gravitation
cancels out.

If Mach was right, my clock is an inertiameter.

How do you measure which clock is slower?

Every clock except your own is slower.
