Using Anti-Gravity Technology to Slow Down Time

If you can generate a powerful artificial gravity field, you could slow time down in a spot. This is also a potentially awesome way to make gigantic telescopes by gravitational lensing. There'd be no more need to preserve food or use fridges as if time is slowed way down in a localized area like a food box, anything in it wouldn't spoil. It's also a great way to put crew into stasis for a long journey so they experience time between stars as days rather than centuries. Of course, awesome tools also make awesome weapons.
