    That’s a common misconception. Magnetic north declination from geographic north increases to its maximum as one approaches the geographic north pole (by definition). Yes, technically, your geographic time may reverse by years, but the increase in magnetic time, being equal and opposite, will effectively cancel out that effect.

      This kind of troll science is the caliber that makes actual conspiracies form when stupid people read it.

      Sure but you forgot one thing. Gravity.

      Gravity pulls down, so when you go towards the North Pole you are actually getting further from gravity and that lesser force still pushes the entire effect into the positive. If you tried this in the south pole you would actually get older!

        It would if the earth were a perfect sphere, but in reality, it’s an oblate sphereoid. This means that an observer actually gets closer to the center of gravity as one approaches a pole.

          Maybe. But everyone knows gravity pulls “down” and not “towards the center of the oblate spheroid” (nonsense word made up by “”“mathematicians”“” to make us look like fools)

            I think you win this time. I spent a week trying to think of a clever comeback, but it’s just not happening.
