From somewhere above, I drop an identical clock so that it passes by the stationary clock. At the instant it passes, as a matter of principle, which clock will have the faster time rate?" And assume a non-rotating Earth. And for more simplicity - an isolated Earth. what would happen if you performed the expirement on the moon? the fastest time rate would be the clock above because it started already in the future. relativity has nothing to do with accelration...so it doesn't matter.
