ishu: puzzle……?
1) Two twins were born, one of them settled on top of a hill and the second on at the bottom of the same hill. The one on the top aged faster, why?
2 twins mean 2 kids (pair of kids) and not 4 kids.
and it has some scientific reason behind it, i think Einstein discovered it out.
another puzzle, a rocket was launched, it crossed the earth’s atm where there was no gravity, two clocks were attached to it, one on the top and the other on the bottom, the clock on the top was faster than the clock at the bottom, why is it like it.

Because that one “ploopped” out first ??
orr..
if you say two twins..does that mean 4kids? (one twin = 2kids)
but i’m confused :S
There is a process known as time dilatation where time slows down when an object is traveling at a really high speed (close to the speed of light). The twin living at the top of the hill is farther from the center of the earth, so he is moving slightly faster than the other. It would probably make about a microsecond of difference over a lifetime. The same thing happens in the orbiting rocket, but I doubt if the clocks could be accurate enough to tell the difference. On the surface of the earth, we are traveling about 1000 mph, and the rocket maybe 18000 mph. To really see the effect, you need to go several thousand miles PER SECOND.
