I can't understand this for the life of me. I understand that if you were higher up on the earth that you would be moving faster than people below you. How does this effect time?

It's Einstein's theory of relativity. The faster you go, the slower time passes, until when you reach the speed of light, time stops. Theoretically, going faster than the speed of light will make time reverse.

It's all really about bending space time. While closer to the earth, spacetime is more compressed than up on a high mountain. Speed distorts spacetime much in the same way as the doppler effect.

It really take a lot of reading to comprehend, but you probably get the idea.

In literal, non-slang use, bitch is a term for female canines, particularly amongst dog breeders. It is also a common English profanity for a woman that typically carries denigrating or misogynistic overtones-such as resemblance to a dog. Its usage may be to characterize someone as having aggressive and spiteful bitterness, or else in being in possession of rudely intrusive or domineering tendencies. Its original use as a vulgarism, documented to the fourteenth century, suggested high sexual desire in a woman, comparable to a bitch in heat.
In recent usage, the range of meanings has expanded. In a feminist context, it can indicate a strong or assertive woman, one who might make men feel threatened. When applied to a man, "bitch" is a derogatory term for a subordinate.
