theoretically if you were in the center of the earth, would you age slower or faster from time dilation?
this question is asked here as well:

this is a wrong answer right?
although you would gravitationally "feel" less pull on yourself in the center of the Earth - however, technically, since you're closer to more mass, what you call space-time would be more warped in the center of the Earth than on the surface of the earth, so you should age slower in the center of the Earth right?
has time dilation ever been tested deeper in the Earth before?

scott soloway said:It would actually be shorter. While the net gravitational force initially increases as you go deeper, eventually it starts to decrease. At your chosen depth you are at about .2 Earth radii from the center and the gravitational force is less than half of its value at the surface. In addition, your velocity would be quite a bit less further speeding up time.
