Time Dialation in regards to aging?

867 views

OK so I know this has been asked but I still don’t get it.

Who do humans age faster/slower? (Shown in interstellar for example) Biologically I don’t understand why the body would age faster?

Imagine you and me both have identical 100% accurate stopwatches, and you start the at the exact same time standing next to each other on earth.
If you now start to move very very fast, away from the earth (for example in a rocket ship), and come back after 1000 hours passed on your stop watch, and return to earth after 2000 hours passed on your stop watch, only 1200 hours would’ve passed on my stopwatch.
Even though the stopwatches were both identical, and use the same mechanism, you’ve experienced 2000hrs, whilst only 1200 hours have passed for me- even though we’re now next to each other- you’ve had 800hrs of life I haven’t had, your stopwatch for 800hrs I never had, but as did your cells and body. We could’ve been twins, but now you’re 800hours older
