One can correctly say that the clock from the journey exist at a higher energy level than the other; its entropy is simply lower. This because of my proposal, that energy have been added from the acceleration. It

Take the so-called twin paradox (which now is not a paradox, but it is popularly known as this). We have two identical clocks. One of them we send out on a journey in the universe near the speed of light, which can only be achieved through acceleration and deceleration - phenomena which are equivalent. When it comes back home again, the two clocks are not showing the same time. The clock from the long-distance journey has not aged as much as the one at home.

One can correctly say that the clock from the journey exist at a higher energy level than the other; its entropy is simply lower. This because of my proposal, that energy have been added from the acceleration. It is obviously also a question about potential energy. When you carry (or "accelerate") a rock to a mountain top it will be 'loaded' with potential energy, which is then released back into kinetic energy when it falls down again. The clock here has been subject to acceleration and entered, or rather been detained at, a higher energy level, unlike the other clock, which only has 'fallen'."

I have not studying Verlinde's essay in detail, but do he explain the time dilation in the same way?
