I should have paid more attention in physics and calculus. Maybe if I re-grounded myself in the principles of light and matter I could wrap my head around this. For now, it reads like Greek to me, but the proof is undeniable.

If you have two atomic clocks, one at sea level and one at "altitude" say in Colo., the one at altitude runs slower than the one at sea level. Since time runs slower for the clock at altitude because it is traveling faster, ppl that live at altitude thus live slightly longer reletive to ppl at sea level.
