• Resumen

  • Physicists have calculated that the center of Earth is two-and-a-half years younger than its surface, thanks to the effects of gravity as described by general relativity. In the 1960s, physicist Richard Feynman claimed that the difference in age between Earth's center and surface was about a day or two-a figure often repeated since.
