Because of the earth’s rotation, a person living on top of a mountain moves at a faster speed than someone at sea level. The mountain dweller’s clocks thus run slowly compared to those at sea level. If the average life span of a hermit is 80 years, on average how much longer would a hermit dwelling on the top of a 3000-m-high mountain live compared to a sea- level hermit?
