Faster Than the Speed of Light?
It does, locally.

Not under the influence of gravity it doesn't. Gravity causes time dilation without a corresponding velocity.

Yes it does. Gravity changes spacetime, so the locally flat spacetime at the bottom of a gravity well isn't the same as the locally flat spacetime at the top of a well, but it's still flat in both cases.

How does that cause a change in velocity?
Or are you implying there is no time dilation?
