I am not certain I get your take here.

The reason gravity holds you against the surface is that all of
the matter making up the Earth (and attracting you) is under you,
so all of it is pulling you down.

If you were at the center, in a hypothetical cavity that would
prevent the pressure from crushing you and the heat from frying
you, all of the matter making up the Earth would be just about
equally spread around you, pulling from every direction.

So, in whatever direction you would look, half of Earth's mass
would be in front of you and half would be behind you, both halves
pulling equally on you.

In a newtonian set up, where force is involved, matter attracts
matter. Every particle attracts all other particles.

Newton did not know about charged particles, but if force is
involved, the effect would be the same, since all stable matter
making up our bodies and the matter making up the planet is
made of stable, charged and scatterable particles (electrons,
quarks up and quarks down).

My opinion also. I came to the conclusion that time is invariant.

There are tens of links on the net talking about it, but none that
I scanned explains the real operation. I didn't have the patience
to scan them all.

However, I can refer you to very clean source that you can go check
in just about any library, if you don't have the book yourself.
It is in one of the most popular and respected undergrad textbooks
around.

"PHYSICS", by Halliday and Resnick.

In the 1967 edition, you will find a complete description in pages
7 to 11, with a clean schematic on page 9.

They obviously believe that it means that times runs faster with
altitude as all physicists currently do, but you can draw your
own conclusions.

Hydrogen and some other materials are also used in other types
of atomic clocks, but they all operate on the same principle.

It has been thoroughly demonstrated that the speed of photons does
not change. What they do instead, when their energy increases is to
cycle faster (increase in frequency), just like lowering its energy
lowers its frequency instead of slowing it down.

> (changing the observed frequency)

More than simply an "observed" frequency, it also is the real
physical frequency.

Frequencies emitted by quantum jumps from a specific orbital to
a lower specific orbital can increase for only one possible reason
in such circumstances, and it is that the nucleus attraction would
increase with altitude, which means that its mass has increased.

Only one thing can do that, a tightening of the local orbits of the
captive up and down quarks that make up the nucleons, which causes
an increase in their relativistic inertia, thus their effective mass.

Since these clocks are constantly monitored to recalibrate by
comparing the current chosen frequency of photons emitted by a
microwave oscillator to energize ceasium atoms, what is seen as
a measure of time dilation is the increase in frequency that the
oscillator must emit for the resulting beam of ceasium atom to
continue hitting the target as altitude increases.

One point of interest is that this apparent time "dilation" exists
only for such atomic clocks. Mechanical clocks continue to give
perfectly synchronized time in these conditions.
