Do you age less at a higher altitude?
Do you age less at a higher altitude? Using those numbers as reference, we can calculate that if an observer at sea level stayed there for 100 years, someone who would have stayed on the Everest would be older by roughly 0.003 seconds. Technically yes, relative to an observer on Earth, a person at higher altitudes will age faster.
Why do you age slower the faster you go?
That's because of time-dilation effects. First, time appears to move slower near massive objects because the object's gravitational force bends space-time. The phenomenon is called gravitational time dilation. In a nutshell it just means time moves slower as gravity increases.
Is 5000 feet considered high altitude?
High altitude = 1,500–3,500 metres (4,900–11,500 ft) Very high altitude = 3,500–5,500 metres (11,500–18,000 ft) Extreme altitude = above 5,500 metres (18,000 ft)
Do pilots age slower?
From memory, the net effect after 15,000 hours in a jet (a large but achievable number for an older pilot) is on the order of 30 nanoseconds. Subjective to their own experience (a clock that rides along with them their entire life), no. Everyone ages the same rate by that measure.
