T or F: a clock in aspen runs faster than clock in New Orleans

It's probably faster by an immeasurable amount.

Does a train running into a bug technically slow it down? Yes, but most rational people aren't worried about .00000000000000000000001%

It's a known fact the more time you spend in less gravity, going faster speeds, the slower time passes for you.

Airline pilots age like a fraction of a second slower than normal people over their entire lives.

Who will ever find out?

By the time they could complete the test, the New Orleans clock would have been stolen.

I've never seen anything that supported going backwards.

It's not about gravity, it's about speed. Being further from the center of the earth, the point on the globe represented by Aspen is moving incrementally faster around the axis than the point represented by New Orleans. Time slows down as velocity increases. The two clocks would be running at the same rate, but the one in Aspen would "appear" faster relative to the passage of local time, assuming you had an instrument precise enough to measure the differential.

TL;DR, tree fiddy

Gravity and speed through space both influence the passage of time. Gravity slows time as does traveling through space.

This is a impossibility by definition. Velocity is distance over a unit of time like feet per second. The unit of time cannot change as the distance is varied or the distance cannot change if the time unit is varied... The calculated value cannot affect a change on the indepentent raw data.
