Would it be possible to land on another planet with such increased gravity that your children become your elders?

I read far enough into a brief history of time to get to the part where he mentions that stop watches ticking at alternative heights of a water tower will tick at different speeds due to distortion a in the space time continuum. I'm wondering if landing on a planet with increased gravity would either cause you to become crushed or just simply cause your trip to seem brief from an observers standpoint or c would actually cause you to stay the same age while the life progressed rapidly around you.

  • You would be crushed way, way, way, way before anything that effected time happens. Gravity is not a fountain of youth.
