Re: [meteorite-list] Earth time dilation: minimal latitude-dependence

Yes, thanks Doug and Rob. That is more about physics than having an inside seat at NASA. You guys are truly Wu-Li Masters! Ben Fisler, Phoenix Sent from my iPhone On Jul 22, 2016, at 5:38 AM, Doug Ross via Meteorite-list wrote: >> However

Hi All, > I'm now working through the math to figure out the latitude on earth where you > age the slowest. Turns out the combination of 1/r GR effect from mass, a latitude-dependent quadrupole component, and the centripetal term (special relativity) due to the earth's rotation nearly
