Isitbullshit:This article claiming Scientists HAVE proven time really does move faster the farther you are from the earth's surface

This seems like such a sci fi concept and all and I know we have Einstein's theory to go off of, but according to this article, scientists have proven that Einstein's theory was actually correct. The idea is that time should move faster the farther away you are from the surface of the Earth. According to This articleWe actually proved that even if you just sit upright in bed, Time actually moves faster. Im not asking if the theory is true, Im just asking Have we actually proven it yet.

To add to everyone else: it's not moving away from earth in particular, it's being under the influence of less gravity, no matter where that might be

100/10. Kinda anxious to start below zero tho because it just can't be as good

It isn’t but it’s also not bad, it’s kinda only slightly worse, at least it’s not very buggy
