Defy Aging?

There was a very interesting article that ran in Nat Geo last month.

Remember Einstein's theory of relativity? Well it has been proven on earth that time is affected by gravitational pull. Researchers used two very accurate atomic clocks and placed them at different heights, one about a foot higher than the other. This will expose the lower clock to a slightly higher gravitational pull and sure enough, the lower clock ticked slower than the elevated one.

Now if you're staying in a high rise condominium and going 'Oh crap!' after reading this, you don't need to worry. The difference is so minute that over a 79 year lifetime the variation is only 90 billionths of a second.

It may not make a difference on earth but you know when space travel is available(when and not if) to the masses and enables people to shuttle to different planets with differing gravitational forces, it leads one to wonder if that will have any effect then. Variations may probably not be significant too but tell a woman that she will age more slowly living on another planet and see if there won't be an exodus. Some beauty products don't do much significantly too other than boosting morale and hope and users swear it makes them 10 years younger. Who knows, human colonies in Jupiter (Surface gravity 24.79 m/s²) may be renowned for their youthfulness while their Martian counterparts (Surface gravity 3.71 m/s²) are probably overrun by old hags.

Oh by the way, Mr PM... buat apa you guna saya punya duit bikin itu 100 tingkat tiang!? I see your wife is very concerned about her looks and I don't want her to be affected by the ...er... gravitational forces at such giddy heights. Why don't you use the money to built a rocket (or buy one cheap from China) and send her off to Jupiter where she'll be forever younger? Just a suggestion...
