Energy, Space, and Time

         By now most people are at least aware of the fact that time is not the immutable thing tick away like a clock. Ideas of that motion, and mass warping time/space are fairly well substantiated, here is a quick break down of the concept http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science.  Slightly less well known is stored energy effects mass, this has been shown in loaded, and unloaded springs, check out http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov if this is something new to you.
        Quick and to the point, with these being true, time would have to run differently in high population density areas, in relation to lower population areas.  Yes I'm aware the difference would be ever so slight, but the difference would have to be there.  This realization has me pondering the idea that is it possible that our conception of time/space needs to account for energy, as without energy there is no motion, or matter. There is no change, rendering time/space irrelevant, and beyond notice.  I little bit odder questions arise in my sci/fi exposed brain.  Things like would it be possible to exploit this effect in cities, by directing the paths people take in their everyday movements?  Some fun ideas to ponder and play with.
