Well yes I may have said that elements all end in -ium which is... Not entirely correct. But all *new* elements must now end -ium although I suppose the only new elements that would be found are all actanoids? Still yes, metals are supposed to end -ium. If your head ends up 1s out of step from your feet (assuming you spend most of your life stood up) then my head is 20% further from my feet than Hayley's. Assuming the effect is proportional to distance (I think its probably not) then over our lifetimes Hayley's head will have been around 0.2s longer, from the perspective of an external observer... Of course to each of us time will have appeared to have passed normally, just Hayleys perception of time has been more affected by gravity. This explains why she has such a unnatural love of tea and biscuits. Oi! Well yes I may have said that elements all end in -ium which is… Not entirely correct.

Neon, Krypton, Silver, Gold, Mercury, Tungsten, Hydrogen, Carbon... They are indeed calling it quantum teleportation and they can teleport atoms up to a metre. I can explain the maths, but you wouldn't like it. People aren't sabotaging it from the future.. it is sabotaging itself! Hayley ages slower due to being shorter. But how much? WHERE ARE THE NUMBERS? Every day your scalp ages 1ns more than your feet.. so over your lifetime, they're out of step to the tune of 1s. http://www.schrodingerskitten.co.uk/articles/perspective.html Petty nitpicking:
