Is there some other kind of evidence like a particle aging at different rates in places with different gravity?
This isn't hard to understand. Don't think of time like the clock on your wall, that is local and relative to you. Think of it like a dent in something. Just like a roulette wheel, the sun being the center, heavier and bigger, causes the white ball to fall around it. A black hole is even a heaver center and the gravity is so great not even light can escape it.
Trust me the math proves space time is a fabric and gravity does affect time. It is why GPS satellites have to be adjusted in orbit. It is just that our layperson's brains for most, simply don't think about the math on a daily basis. This really cuts to your false perceptions. Humans simply are simply not born with that math in their heads at birth. So we grow up with very local perceptions.
