on top of the time disparity caused by space travel, so not only did he not experience as much time as someone on earth, he also didn't age as much?

- AnimalMuppet 10y agoTime dilation is never the fountain of youth. You don't experience any more time. Yes, you live to a later calendar year, but if that's at the price of having fewer seconds per calendar year in which to live, what's the point?
