In a fascinating discovery backed by Theory of relativity general of Albert Einstein, Japanese scientists demonstrated that If you live on a high floor, you will age faster.
This is because time flows a little more quickly for those who reside on the upper floors of buildings compared to those who live in lower locations.

The phenomenon, known as “gravitational time dilation,” was investigated through a series of experiments that explored how gravity affects the perception of time at different altitudes.
In 2010, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) performed measurements of the discrepancy in speed of time between one point on the surface and another on a table located just half a meter away height.
Using high-precision atomic clocks, researchers found that time at the highest point advanced billions of seconds faster than at the lowest level.
In 2020, Japanese scientists carried out fascinating research on the Tokyo Skytree tower, which rises 450 meters above the ground.
They used optical lattice clocks, which employ lasers to achieve unprecedented precision. The results revealed a notable difference in the passage of time between the observatory at the top of the tower and ground level.

It was found that the days passed four nanoseconds faster in the top-floor observatory, confirming Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
This difference in the perception of time is explained by the influence of gravity on the curvature of space-time, which, in turn, is affected by the mass of the Earth.
As one increases in altitude, the distance from the Earth's mass increases, resulting in slightly less gravity and therefore a faster passage of time.
The surprising phenomenon supports Einstein's theory, which predicted that clocks would run slower when close to significant sources of gravity, such as the center of the Earth.
Furthermore, scientific calculations suggest that the age difference between the Earth's core and the Himalayan mountains is estimated to be approximately two years.
This theory has roots in an iconic lecture given by Richard Feynman in the 1960s at Caltech. He hypothesized that, due to time dilation, the Earth's core could be younger than its surface, by an estimated period of one to two days.
