Is our measurement of time universal? We think of our bodies aging by years here on earth. What I am curious about is if the human body ages at the same rate of time in space as it does on earth? If there is not any gravitational pull on our bodies in space, therefore less stress, do our bodies age at the same measurement that we use on earth? What has been the effects of space travel on the astronauts bodies? Have they studied this and what were the results?
In thinking about this, I wonder about our measurement of time and how correct or incorrect it might be. You can take two people of the same age and their internal organs can be drastically different due to genetic influences. So one 55 year old might actually be younger by the measurement of their internal organs than another 55 year old.
