Living on tall buildings will grow faster

Einstein's theory of relativity suggests that the farther away from Earth the faster time passes. Recently, scientists have proved that this theory is also true for human lifespan.

Scientists believe that people living in high-rise buildings will age faster than people living in one-story houses . This finding has helped scientists prove Einstein's theory of relativity that time passes faster when away from Earth.

A group of physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Colorado (USA) has used the two most accurate running watches in the world today - only 1 second deviation after 3.7 billion years - to compare the running speed of the watch at different heights.

The results show that when moving up another 3m, the clock will run faster than 1/900 billion seconds. It also means that you will grow faster than 1/104 billion times in 1 second if you live on the 102 floor of the Empire State Building (381m).

Scientists explain that the clock runs faster at higher altitudes because the higher the impact of the gravity of the Earth decreases.

However, a spokesman for the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Colorado acknowledged that the change was extremely small, so it hardly affected the lives of people living on high-rise buildings.

' The difference in drift time at different heights is very small for people and we hardly notice it, but our research results may be useful in the field of geoscience. physics and other fields ', said Dr. James Chin-Wen Chou, a member of the research team.
