Ever wondered why time isn’t the same for everyone? In this episode, we explore the mind-bending reality of Gravitational Time Dilation. According to Einstein’s General Relativity, gravity doesn't just pull on matter—it pulls on time itself. By comparing life at sea level to the peaks of the highest mountains, we reveal why clocks tick faster when you’re further from Earth's core. Using data from NIST and the famous Hafele-Keating experiment, we break down how "the mountain effect" influences everything from your biological age to the GPS on your smartphone.
If you could spend a decade on a planet with gravity ten times stronger than Earth's, would you do it knowing you’d return home to find everyone else much older?
