Good point. I am sure that someone has calculated it, but I haven't read anything about it yet.
I could do the calculation, but I'll wait until after daylight savings time. :mrgreen:

I like the telomere chop paradox kinda thing that he's going to experience due to radiation exposure. He's younger, but also older.

This is the type of STEMS knowledge based discussion you'll never see on a liberal website because they don't cover this type of stuff in gender studies classes. :lol:

I disagree with everyone who publicly states that my firearms should be taken away and uses their notoriety to appear as if they are supreme elites and thus rule over me.

Only 0.00952 seconds in 340 days, so 17,150 MPH is a relatively slow velocity. ;-)

Yup, speed of light is 669,600,000 mph (roughly).

I too would like to know the answer to TAM's very interesting question.

If they circled in the opposite direction than the one they traveled in, would he get younger, that is time would go backwards?

Ya know, kinda like Superman did in one of his earlier movies to save Lois Lane?

Be still my beating heart, or, um, ah, is that what mean?

My heart being still?

Anyhoo, remaining old and growing ever feebler is such a fate we must (well, unless early misfortune finds us...) all endure...
