From My Buddy, Jack
An Idea for a Screenplay.
by Jack Reeves
Two friends are at the Grand Canyon, the north side, void of masses.
Dee: Goodness! A dead possum. Or is it playing possum? Ha!
Jack: Looks dead. It's rigid, as in rigor.
Dee: What're you doing?
Jack: Gonna throw it in the canyon.
Dee: Why not.
Jack: Long way down.
Dee: One mile.
Jack: Time's slower there.
Dee: How?
Jack: Greater gravity.
Dee: Einstein....
Jack: It'll be dead slightly less.
Dee: Great.
Jack: Bye, possum.
Dee: Good throw! I'll bet it'll go all the way down!
Jack: Death less by the second. Thirty-two feet per second per second!
Dee: Physics reversing death.
Jack: By one-two billionths of a second!
Dee: It's enough to die for, buddy!
Jack: I love this place! How about you?
Dee: Yep.

So if one of them jumps, does that mean their life will be longer than the other one's ?
(The other one can measure and report on the difference ?)
:-)
PS Was just looking more closely at part of your profile which I hadn't read in detail before... just thought you might like to know I'm a graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School... 30 day Wilderness Survival course in the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming... Paul Petzoldt was quite a guy !
Ha! I was thinking it was going to end with. "Hey, let's jump!"
"Yeh! We'll be younger at the bottom!"
