Does a person on the equator age slower than a person at the north or south pole?

Question

Am I correct in assuming that due to the earths rotation, a person standing at the equator travels through the fabric of space/time slightly faster than a person standing at either of the poles?

According to Einstein's relativity, wouldn't they age slower, since time slows down as you approach the speed of light?

Answer 1

If comparatively age is a function of how long does it take for the heart to wear out, then it depedends how hard the heart works to pump blood.
It Gravity is stronger at the equator than near the poles then the heart would work harder at the equator.It the heart works harder ti will wear out faster.
It does not have much to do with Einstein motion of masses at the speed of light.
Time on earth depends on the rotation of the earth around the
Sun which is a function of the gravity field.
Therefore time is non linear but on earth this discrepancy is very small.
The relativistic time formula of Einstein is only relative to light waves and does not relate to the gravitational time frame we live in.

Answer 2

Well, this is relativity, so is the person at the equator moving at all relative to the person at the pole? The person rotating at the equator is never getting further from or closer to the person at the pole. They remain a constant distance apart, even as both are hurtling through space around the sun. Therefore, time moves at the same speed for both of them, relative to each other.

Answer 3

No, because if you strip all measurement of time both will live the same length no matter where they are. A person at the pole can live to be 60 just the same as one on the equator.

Answer 4

well the earth doesnt rotate nearly close to the speed of light, so i would say no,

planes can go faster than the rotation of the earth but theres not been any evidense of pilots living longer, besides that whole thing about time slowing down is all bs any way
