I've always wondered how much affect the direction of the Earth spinning has on Flight Duration, I'd assume in one direction must be faster than the reverse direction since the Earth is catching up to you... but how big of an affect does it have?
Also, it's been demonstrated that elevation affects aging (so, time) - the twin astronaut paradox/hypothesis explores this.

Traveling at the speed of light will only stop you from aging further.

Thanks for the link, it's pretty decent.

I do get some of it, but some of it just really blows my mind...
It's all those pictures with the Earth in the center, and the moon going around it like a funnel. I understand that the earth is warping space-time, what I don't understand is why they always represent space time as a graphic as a flat surface.
Isn't the earth surrounded by space-time in every direction?
To me it appears that the the universal is flat except for the occasional place where a plant or star sits when I look at graphics like these:

For example if I was traveling at the speed of light visiting exotic planets and banging aliens with 17 orifices and came back 40 of your earth years later and posted on here, I'd still be like 35, and you'd be like 75 with an 18 year old GF that hangs out at GSM. lol, j/k

Hopefully we get the chance to test this out in the not-so-distant future.
