Does thisOnly if you factor in relativistic differences?! Someone standing on the equator is traveling at about 464 m/s whereas someone standing at 41° Latitude is only travellingtraveling at about 350 m/s. Hence the person at the equator would appear to be 4.6E-06 seconds per year slower in time than the person at 41° Latitude.

Does this factor in relativistic differences? Someone standing on the equator is traveling at about 464 m/s whereas someone standing at 41° Latitude is only travelling at about 350 m/s. Hence the person at the equator would appear to be 124.6E-06 seconds per year slower in time than the person at 41° Latitude. This should be easily measured by atomic clocks which are accurate to 10^-9 sec/day.
