Time formula

Charon, Hydra, and Nix Asked by bbbb about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

If you have two identical clocks and you put one on the first floor of your house and the other on the second floor of your house, and you set them both at the same time, the one on the second floor will tick faster. The fact that the clock on the second...

floor is futher from the Earth's center of gravity means that the clock on the second floor will move faster. The same principle works with anything. If a human stood on the second floor of a house he would age faster than when he stood on the first floor of his house because he would be further from the Earth's center of gravity. The person would also weigh less on the second floor of his house than the first floor of his house. The further a person goes above the surface of the Earth the less he weighs and the faster he ages. This works on different planets and stars too. If you go underground like in a Subway you will age slower and you will weigh more. If you go to the mountains or on an airplane you will weigh less and age faster. When you go to space you age much more rapidly and are much lighter than when you are on Earth. I just don't know how much of a difference there is in weight and age acceleration for every feet, or mile you go above the Earth's surface. Does anybody know a certain equation that I could use to find out how much time accelerates for the distance you are above the Earth's surface?

It may effect weight but not the aging process, it's biological and the measurment of time by clocks has nothing to do with it.

Aging is accelerated the higher you go above the Earth's center of gravity. It is a part of Einsteins theory of relativity. You age less on planets with more gravity, so on Venus you would age less than you do on Earth.

The difference between second floor and first floor would be probably a second for 40 years. So it's not really worth it.
As for the formula, I don't know it, but I'll ask my Physics teacher. I guess it's pretty complicated with derrivatives and integrals.
