A team of physicists with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology has calculated more precisely how much faster time passes on the moon than on the Earth. The paper describing the math they used to make the calculations and their results has been posted to the arXiv preprint server.
I wonder why the article doesn’t show time elapsed per year instead.
If a person were to live on the moon for one year, for example, they would be 0.02 seconds older than they would be had they lived on Earth all that time.
Yeah, 274 years is such a weird time length to use. 0.02 seconds per year is better, or if you wanted to do a “lifetime” measurement it’s about 1.68s over 80 years.
