Or I should say how far away from a big gravity body you are.
In the case of the GPS satellites, there's two things going on.
And it's kind of fun because it's actually the reverse for the astronauts.
So if I want to break this down, this is really fun.
Okay.
Okay.
We have clocks that are so accurate that if you move about two feet above where, you know, if we had a clock on this desk and then if we moved it up about two feet, we could actually detect time flowing differently because you're just that far away from the Earth's gravity, just two feet.
Your head and your feet, we spend most of our lives, say, standing up, are actually going through time at slightly different rates.
The farther away you are from a gravitational source, I mean, you probably like movies like Interstellar, right, with Matthew McConaughey.
Remember the big black hole?
And the closer they get to the big black hole, the slower time goes?
That's not a theory.
That's something we can actually measure with clocks.
And a black hole has so much gravity, it does it a lot more dramatically.
But it's happening right in this room.
Seriously, your head is in a different time frame than your feet right now.
That's nuts.
Yeah.
I mean, it's measurable.
You need extremely accurate clocks.
