Researchers have demonstrated one of Einstein's theories of relativity - that the further away from the Earth you are, the faster time passes works even on a human scale.
That means – even though the differences are tiny – you really will age faster if you live on the top floor of a skyscraper than in a bungalow.
The discovery, made by scientists in the US, confirms a theory first proposed by Einstein – that clocks run faster the further away from the ground they are.
Although the concept has been accepted for many years, now the difference can be measured for the first time with astonishing accuracy.
