Time Dialation in regards to aging?

846 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?

Relativity doesn’t imply that you can age faster or slower. It states the opposite. It states that you age at one second per second, no matter what.

From your frame of reference, time for someone else may appear to pass faster or slower. In their frame of reference, time passes at exactly one second per second.

There are no biological implications from the theory of relativity unless your head is moving away from your feet at relativistic speeds. In that case you’d have bigger worries.
