Wikipedia wrote:Since the light would be slowed down by gravitational time dilation (as seen by outside observer), the regions with lower gravitational potential would act like a medium with higher refractive index causing light to deflect. This reasoning allowed Einstein in 1911 to reproduce the incorrect Newtonian value for the deflection of light.[41] At the time he only considered the time-dilating manifestation of gravity, which is the dominating contribution at non-relativistic speeds ; however relativistic objects travel through space a comparable amount as they do though time, so purely spatial curvature becomes just as important. After constructing the full theory of general relativity, Einstein solved in 1915[42] the full post-Newtonian approximation for the Sun's gravity and calculated the correct amount of light deflection – double the Newtonian value. Einstein's prediction was confirmed by many experiments, starting with Arthur Eddington's 1919 solar eclipse expedition.

So if gravitational time-dilation, which is the dominating contribution at non-relativistic speeds, slows light down, why do non-relativistic things accelerate as the time dilation increases ? Shouldnt they decelerate ?
As they say space curvature does not matter for non relativistic speeds like an apple has for example.
Time dilation alone is what makes gravity work for our apple.
Why does the apple accelerate towards earth then, if time dilation only slows things down in a gravitational well, as it does in the case of light ? It seems that time dilation can only cause gravitational deceleration, not acceleration ! And space curvation really doesnt do anything for the apple, or any object which doesnt travel close to the speed of light, cause that's what them relative scientists say. But if the apple was moving close to the speed of light, then the curvature of space will slow it down as well. Cause in the case of relativistic speeds that space curvation really comes into play, further bending the light's way.
And surely they must know what they're talking about, since they understand his theory better than Einstein himself:
