Diabetes Among The Non Overweight

The thing about pension age is not comparable, time is linear for us all, there is no variance. There's a helluva lot of variants in BMI.

Your too serious Guzzler height and waist are linear if you consider Pi x D! :)

The pension age means a lot if you don't get it through dying young from T2D cos you didnt control your T2D or BP.

I would suggest that they are not unless you are measuring spheres.

Hmmm Maybe there should be a new BMI figure for obesity then.....38 sounds good to me ;):woot:

38 is better than 44, so yes please. God knows what my bmi will get to after 1yr on from op. I was 15.5st at my lowest at 5ft 5ins. I'd love that again. Permanently.

Did Eistein say that we all experience time differently? If so, I would like to see the queue outside number 10, the queue of people requesting that the retirement age for them personally should be lowered because although they measure 49 in earth years they are actually a 103 in Vulcan years.
 
Time is not linear - Simply put, this is the only relative in Einstein's' Special Theory of Relativity. As Gravity or speed, increases, times slows and time and gravity become measurable at different rates at different locations. Thanks to Hollywood, everyone knows and understands that if you and I traveled to a distant star at the speed-of-light, we would only age a few years, but everyone back on earth would have aged hundreds of years. The only way around it is to bend space with a wormhole, but that too violates a few Natural Laws itself. In any case, if time is measurable at different rates anywhere, at any time, then it just suddenly becomes another variable in the equation of life, and every "Carved-in-stone" definition of reality suddenly becomes fluid and confusing.
Time depends on where you are and how fast you may be moving if you are standing at the base of mount Everest you will experience time differently to someone stood on the summit time and space are part of a continuum and inseparable

And then there is the subjective element . Some times time drags other times it will fly by.

I have no answer to this statement at all. (I 'ated fizics at skool).

That is not quite true. If you are travelling near the speed of light then people on Earth would be travelling relatively at near the speed of light away from you. Your clock and the Earth clock run normally and you each age normally. However if you could observe a clock on Earth it would appear to have slowed but also if someone on Earth could observe your clock it would appear to have slowed. If you are interested in this sort of thing then look up "The Twin Paradox".

I can sympathize, I am a tall guy with big bones and my BMI has been between 22 and 23 the last two years and I can't get out of the prediabetic range.

Try restricting all solid and liquid intakes to two windows in a day, each not exceeding 50 minutes. Water in no restriction. This can do wonders. And make it a lifestyle if it helps.

General relativity does not cover the twin paradox it is explained by the theory of special relativity.

Time dilation has been verified experimentally by precise measurements of atomic clocks flown in aircraft and satellites. For example, gravitational time dilation and special relativity together have been used to explain the Hafele–Keating experiment It was also confirmed in particle accelerators by measuring the time dilation of circulating particle beams

This is just theory or can it be put to practical tests?

Can they test that on the rate of human aging?

The theories of relativity have been proved with experiments using astronomy or at an atomic level. As we are unable to travel at anywhere near the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) it is impossible to demonstrate any affects on aging at a human level.

Conceptual wise the fourth dimension way of explaining is easier for me.
