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.

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?

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

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...
