Reading Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw's book "Why does E=MC2". They mention that satellites speed up with time, but, then reading Wiki it says the crew of the ISS experience the slowing of time. Which one is correct? I'm slightly confused.
Both experience a weaker gravitational pull and high velocities.
I feel I have the answer but it's been some months since I read anything about this.
Could it be the overall difference in altitude and speed?
Many thankshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
