Einstein determined -- and it was proven -- long ago that clocks in space move slower than clocks on Earth because time moves at different rates depending on how close an object is to a gravitational field. In a new study published today in Science, researchers used atomic clocks accurate to within one second in 3.7 billion years to show that gravitational fields also affect time on a much smaller scale. Basically, your head ages faster than your feet -- unless you spend most of your time hanging upside down

So we age slower in space because we are far from the center of the gravitational field, but our head (which is further from the center of the field than our feet) age faster?

Im confused and cant seem to figure out what exactly i am missing.
I literally have trouble falling asleep cause i cant stop thinking about it 🤬

More gravity = slower time

Your feet are closer to earth and therefore time moves slower for them.

However in your whole life the mismatch is going to be less than one second because its such a tiny difference.

analog clocks or digital clocks?

and how was this proven? when did Einstein go to space to perform these tests?

Nothing needs to be proven to anyone => just open your mind & feel '' what YOU'll need to feel ''
Furthermore the good part is that YOU won't need to be Einstein nor to talk about him anymore ... :love: :angel:
- aka stop thinking...
inorder to stop sinking :ph34r: -

Best part about science is their methodology is published so you can repeat it if you want.

spewing hearsay doesn't answer the questions though.

If you don't believe them then go back and repeat the experiments.

Oh wait, even when you might be able to you refuse and spout hearsay about steam magnifying images.
