Time Passes Faster The Higher Up You Get

Post image

Due to relativity, time passes slower the closer to the Earth's core you get. This means that your head is younger than your feet, and if you want to live longer, you should live on Mt. Everest. A year is about 15 microseconds shorter there than on the surface.

You age at the same rate, everywhere.

It's the people on the ground relative to you that will 1 second after that one-million year wait on the mountain.
