A centrifuge does not increase gravity. It only applies an ever changing
accelerating force onto the object. As such, it does not change how
time progresses.

The only two things that have this effect are (true) gravity and speed.

The book "Modern Physics" by Tipler and Llewellyn has a very nice and
easy to understand introduction into special and general relativity
and is worth a read.
