Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 09, 2012

I cannot believe all three! (So how old was Neil exactly when he walked on the Moon, though?)

Because the less gravity the faster time passes.

On the right hand side of the drawing of the moon. That’s one very surprised looking man in the moon.

Age on the moon because no atmosphere?

A museum dedicated to snoring? WTF?? How, why ???

I guess Wichcraft runs in the family.

While the moon thing is true it works out to be something like 1 second per 1000 years or something like that. SO it is meaningless really.

Oops, looks like Robert Heinlein got it backwards

Emma got the part she was born for.

Museum for SNORING! I guess my names up there with the rest! LOL!

KNEW IT!……Hogwarts is Real!

A friend of mine actually visited the snoring museum – but he couldn’t stay awake for the entire tour.

The moon has two relativistic situations going. First the gravity, less gravity speeds time, but then it is revolving around the earth. Artificial satellites that do that have slower clocks than Earth, so I wonder if Ripley’s was ignoring the second. I don’t know which one wins.

That’s why the moon is uninhabited. Everybody died of old age.

If you visit that museum, you’ll end up so bored that you contribute to it.

Is anybody mooning over Emma Watson?

That’s J.K. Rowling!!!!!

@truecanadianliberal,That was a ‘whale’ of a response to my pun paragraph yesterday. It is one of the best efforts that has come down the ‘pike’. After careful ex’salmon’ation, it has been determined that you are a well-’school’ed pun’sturgeon’, and may assume your ‘perch’ on the pedestal. You are entitled to the barra’kudos’. They certainly accomplish their ‘porpoise’. I’ll ‘clam’ up now.

@JerseyJo,Thanks for the Tee Hee!

A visitor to the moon ages at the same rate as he always did on earth, from his point of view. In each second his body undergoes 1 second of aging, and the second lasts as long to him (as measured by his watch, or his pulse for example) as any second that he experienced on earth.The issue is that 1 second on the moon, as measured by an earth dweller (if they could measure it) takes slightly less than one of their “earth seconds”, because of the weaker gravitational field on the moon compared with that on earth, according to the General theory of relativity. So after one earth second, the earth dweller will consider the moon visitor to have done by slightly more than one second of ageing.So Ripley’s should have added “as measured by someone who stayed on the earth”. However the difference is so tiny that it’s negligible in this case.

Time does not move faster or slower for you, no matter where you are. It’s all in how an outside observer see’s you. It’s called quantum psyhics.
