Would the fast rotating legs of a human age slower? For how much?
Let's imagine that there is some human that rotates rapidly around his head. That means that the legs have a very large velocity, but the head has the velocity nearly equal to zero. Let's just ignore ...

Are we gaining or losing time as our planet revolves around the Sun?
I understand that the Earth (or someone standing on our planet) will undergo time dilation due to a number of reasons compared with someone hovering in interstellar space. I would like to focus on two ...

How much time dilation are we experiencing here on Earth? [duplicate]
We experience time dilation from speed and gravity, but we are in more than just the Earth's gravity field, but also the sun's and the galaxy's gravity field and we are both spinning at 1,670 km/h, ...

How does $g$-force relate to time dilation?
In the imdb.com goofs page of the movie Interstellar, I found this statement:
How does time dilation affect $g$-force? If this could be explained in Laymen's terms it would be much appreciated.

What is the age of planet Earth, if we are not looking for the age at sea level?
I remember to learn at school that our planet is approximately 4.543 billion years old.
But since the time is affected by mass of an object, this number is actually the age on the sea level, where ...

Is there a great difference in the pace of time on a Earth-like planet orbiting a BH at safe distance and on a ship orbiting this planet?
Another question about the Interstellar movie.
When the crew (or what's left of it) arrived near Miller's planet orbiting Gargantua, a team was sent to the planet to rescue Miller who was sent there ...

How much faster does time pass in a star orbiting a black hole compared to earth?
I want to calculate the shifting of the time in a star that orbits a supermassive black hole, i already know that if the star is orbiting at 5000 km/s with respect to earth the time will be 1/(1-(5000^...

Does Earth experience any significant, measurable time dilation at perihelion?
Is there any measurable time dilation when Earth reaches perihelion? Can we measure such a phenomena relative to the motion of the outer planets?

Does a clock oscillating in a friction-free hole through the center of a planet run slower than a stationary clock on the surface?
Assume a clock is dropped into a friction-free hole through the center of a symmetric, non-rotating planet, far from any other massive object. Clearly, the clock oscillates from one end of the hole to ...
