Spinning Earth

The strange thing is that, from the point of view of a neutral observer, the closer you are to a gravitational field, the slower time passes so indeed our feet would be younger.

However, our heads would also be travelling faster than our feet, and the faster something travels then the slower time passes..

Go figure.. Confused Fall
