The higher you are, the faster you age.

[nofreeman]

Researchers have demonstrated one of Einstein's theories of relativity - that the further away from the Earth you are, the faster time passes works even on a human scale.

That means – even though the differences are tiny – you really will age faster if you live on the top floor of a skyscraper than in a bungalow.


The discovery, made by scientists in the US, confirms a theory first proposed by Einstein – that clocks run faster the further away from the ground they are.

Although the concept has been accepted for many years, now the difference can be measured for the first time with astonishing accuracy.

Using a pair of the world's most precise clocks, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Colorado, discovered that simply going upstairs will make you age faster.

Good Thing i don't live in heavan.

Well I suppose this ties in with the theory that time is distorted by the force of gravity. However wouldn't the difference between the ground and say Mount Everest, be almost negligible?

Jesus Chroist, that's kinda scary.
Haha I guess that's the first advantage of living in a valley.

I should live under the sea.


In a pineapple, if possible.

I live in a bungalo. \o/

Meh, I kinda hoped it would add up to at least a second or something.

I think I'm more impressed that they managed to measure this.

So I was right, the difference is negligible. Therefore irrelevant...

Your feet are younger than your eyes.

Sure, drunks and junkies die younger, Einstein.

Ennui is going to find this news most troublesome.

 

[Colonel Kernel]

Cool. Wondered why I had so much time on my hands this whole time.

 

[ríomhaire]

What I want to know is what's the difference between zero gravity and the surface of Earth?

 

[DEATHMASTER]

9.8 m/s^2

Also mass has a tendency to slow down time. If you're next to the pyramid of Giza, you'll be moving slower in time than someone farther away.

I think it was this video series (either 'time' or 'everything'). This is just the first part, there's 5 I think.

Read about this yesterday. Started to marvel until I got to the end it says something like .92 ms over 72 years. That's the difference.
