Who would age faster, person A who lives near the North Pole or person B who lives closer to the equator?
Is there a correlation or causality between the speed of the Earth's rotation and the aging process?
For example, the Earth rotates at the equator at about 1600 km/h
While here (in the northern part above the equator) it is just about 1000 km/h
The oldest people also live in the northernmost part.
With a life expectancy of 84 years, people live in Japan – alongside those in San Marino and Hong Kong
Life expectancy in Northern Europe – Iceland leads with 82.7 years
29.04.2022 — This is followed by Norway with 82.4, Sweden with 82.3 and Ireland with 81.6 years.

This is of course very complex. Theoretically for someone who is in a reference system that moves very fast compared to another reference system, the time “slower”.
He would age as slower. He doesn’t know anything about it.
This effect, however, would only make a measurable difference at relativeistic speeds. So close to the speed of light.
The difference between equator and North Pole is so small that it would not be expressed in figures.
If I flew with a spaceship, with speed of light, after 30 years of flight on Earth might have passed a few thousand years. And I’d die of age weakness with 89 years. Because for me nothing would change in the course of time.
Thanks for your answer and a nice evening still🙏

Thanks for the star 🙂
According to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity, time slows down for objects moving at higher speed. This effect, however, is extremely small at the speeds you mentioned (1600 km/h on the equator and 1000 km/h in the northern part), and practically not perceptible to humans.
Regarding the oldest people living in northern countries such as Japan, San Marino and Hong Kong, there is no direct correlation or causality between the speed of earth rotation and the aging process. The higher life expectancy in these countries is due more to factors such as nutrition, lifestyle, health systems and genetic factors.
It’s all bullshit. It depends on how healthy the diet is and the lifestyle.
You didn’t understand the question.
Probably. The earth also turns sometimes faster than you think 🙄
She doesn’t just turn around her axis. It revolves around the sun and the center of the Milky Way.
If you add it, it’s pretty good. And pretty eager.
But all these speeds are too low to lead to what is called time dilatation.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitdilatation
But these are only milliseconds, if ever.
The physical laws are only a few millionths of seconds.
It doesn’t matter how fast you move. Just because you’re in a different reference system, time doesn’t change for you.
this relativistic effect addressed by you does not appear measurable because the people never move away from each other or towards each other.

In this situation, neither the observer at the North Pole nor the equator can observe a slower/faster aging. The time dilation according to the special relativity theory refers to relative speeds along the connecting axes of both observers. Since the observer moves at the equator exactly perpendicular to this connecting axis, the relative speed of the two observers is equal to zero and thus the time dilation is equal to zero.
But be careful: There is also the general theory of relativity with its time dilatation near a curved space time (which is to be considered identical to an acceleration). This results in a time dilation for both (!) observers. For the one on the North Pole due to its proximity to the Earth and for the observer at the Equator … also due to its proximity to the Earth (a little less due to the larger Earth radius at the Equator), but also due to the centrifugal acceleration which only the observer experiences at the Equator.
Put an apple or a tomato on the equator and one on the North Pole.
The fruit on the North Pole lasts longer. (Does it slower?)
