    Gravitational Time Dilation - Is my head older than my feet?

    Fantastic. Thanks for your help. So I tried to calculate this. I took my height and approximate age (of my feet) in seconds to the nearest day. And i used the linear "weak field" approximation Td = 1 + gh / c2 of the equation. I calcualted that my head is 180ns older than my feet, assuming of...

    This equation gives the ratio of the two times.

    Gravitational Time Dilation - Is my head older than my feet?

    That's very useful. One more question if you don't mind. Once I have a value for Td how do I put this in context? For example after my feet are 1 second old my head is y seconds old?

    Gravitational Time Dilation - Is my head older than my feet?

    Is the maths involved complicated to a lay person? i would like to be able to demonstrate this to others.

    Gravitational Time Dilation - Is my head older than my feet?

    According to general relativity, objects in a strong uniform gravitational field experience time slower that objects in a weak uniform gravitational field. Does this mean that my feet, being closer to the Earth that my head, are younger than my head when I die? If this is correct could someone...
