Although this effect is small on Earth, it is noticeable. "If you live in a two-story house on the top floor, you will age faster than your neighbor below by about 10 nanoseconds in one year," said quantum physicist Igor Pikovski at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "This tiny effect has actually been confirmed in many experiments with very precise clocks.
