Because the one in the mountains is traveling slightly faster then the one at sea level. The faster an object travels, the more time "slows down" for it.

Still cool to think about though. Growing up I had a theory that if a person where to travel faster then light away from the Earth, that person would be able to turn around and watch "time" travel backwards on Earth. When I learned that light travels at the same speed relative to the person, it crapped all over my theory LOL.

Most of us have something on our person that proves the Theory of Relativity, what is it?

Because I reset all of the clocks on daylight savings.

Why we still change our clocks for daylight savings time confuses me more then the realtionship between time/space.

Damn Farmers.

Okay, say you have two ball bearings. You hold one in your hand and drop it. The other you put in a gun, point it straight forward, as level as the one in your hand, and pull the trigger, sending it hundreds of yards.

Which one lands first?

The one dropped in your hand right? RIGHT!?!?

No, actually they both hit the ground at the same time.

This is because the vertical component of motion is the same for both objects. They both fall vertically the same distance at about 10 meters per second squared (gravity, actually more like 9.8).

But Jenson, Jenson! What about the horizontal component of the gun-fired ball bearing? Actually, when air resistance is small enough to ignore as it is in this case (being that the bearings are exactly alike), the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are completely independent of one another.

And, in this experiment, the gun-fired bearing is constantly falling from the moment it is fired. Yes, it looks like it is holding up in a straight line, but, it's actually falling and it's just hard to see with our eyes. And again, it is falling at exactly the same speed as the ball bearing you released in your hand -- the speed of gravity.

Post more cool science things in this thread.

I think I will later post Aristotle vs. Galileo and gravity, for a little history spin on science.
Actually, if the bullet is fired horizontally at a fast enough speed, it will NEVER hit the ground. Why? Because it is now in orbit and constantly falling.

And what would speed would the bullet need to travel to escape Earth's gravitational pull?!?!?!?!

11.186 km/s. More precisely sqrt(2GM/R), where G-gravity, M-mass, R-radius.

It all depends on where/what direction you are launching.
