As you move faster, in your vehicle, than the world around you, you age slower. This increases life spans.
But one’s life happens in a context. If the world around you changes faster, then you spend less time in that context before it changes. Going out of the common reference frame means your life is cut short.
Only relative to those moving slower. You experience life at the same rate regardless of your speed
This is true as your vehicle moves but actually the world around you is aging quicker around you as you move faster than it.
Hence your more time is added to your life.
But if you’re travelling in the opposite direction of the rotation of the earth - east, I think; I’m having a hard time visualizing which way that would be - wouldn’t you be moving more slowly than everything around you?
I THINK it would be everything moving slower around you. Rather than you moving slower than everything.
My hypothesis is that going opposite of rotation is that it would actually add more time than going with as you now add the time you get from things moving slower and you moving fast. We are “not in motion” while in this vehicle. Everything around us is.
Our “not being in motion” is excluding the minor arm leg movements.
Excess carbon emissions, shortens all lives.
Probably a millisecond or less in your lifetime… Unless your vehicle goes close to the speed of light
I think more like tens of minutes a year.
This is shown by a set clock in the car not connected to satellite. If you set the clock in may, to the time on your cellphone, then drive until September, you will notice the clock in the car is behind.
The level of inaccuracy in a regular clock resulting in drift is orders of magnitude greater than any amount of time dilation you would experience.
This is the reason we use extremely high precision clocks (like atomic clocks) and then synchronize everything else with them. Even your phone’s clock would drift noticeably over a period of a few months if it never synced with some network server.
The NTP protocol exists precisely for this. There are entire companies that specialize in providing and maintaining synchronized wall clocks for facilities like hospitals, schools, and other organizations.
