what your saying only applies for "earth" time, and not about speed!

the fact is
if 1 person spends his life sitting down
and the other person spends all his life sprinting

when both of them die, the watch of the person who was sprinting all his life could be a few seconds earlier


and about that 8 minute- 7 minute thing
if you save 1 minute on a specific distance, that means that you were going @ (lets say) 10km/hour more
that is NOTHING compared to the speed of light so you wont even see a difference!

but theoretically, you went a few billiseconds into the future
No, time is NOT relative. that's what Einstein got wrong. a minute is a minute no matter where it is measured.
go back to my 2 planets example. if they are formed the same day and they've been traveling for 1 million years but at different rates, are they both not 1 million years old?
