Can anybody please calculate for me the time #dilation numbers related to how much faster someone at the equator is moving compared to someone at, say, either of the poles? Or anywhere in between, really. Ideally, a simple formula that correlates degrees of latitude with speed of revolution would be great. I’m at 40°30’36”N, and 4960ft elevation. I presume elevation also factors into it.

#DidYouKnow: Gravitational #Time #Dilation is the effect of #Gravity on the passage of time.
It's a form of time dilation, which is the difference in elapsed time between two events as measured by observers at different distances from a gravitating mass.https://knowledgezone.co.in/posts/Gravitational-Time-Dilation-65aa2c12ce0aa503032077d3

#Astronomers observe #time #dilation in early universe
Scientists found that events appeared to unfold five times slower when the universe was a mere 1bn years old, or about a tenth of its present age, because of the way the expansion of the universe stretches time.
“We see things changing about five times slower than today,” said Geraint Lewis, a professor of astrophysics and lead author of the study at the University of Sydney. “It’s like watching a movie with the speed turned down.”

#Time appears to run five times #slower in the early universe. A phenomenon called cosmological time #dilation means that events taking place in the early universe seem to evolve slower than those today: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2380881-time-appears-to-run-five-times-slower-in-the-early-universe/ #science #astronomy #cosmology #physics #astrophysics
