I just got done listening to a podcast on Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. -- My Brain Hurts! --
But I did learn this:
When we're moving, we're bending the space-time continuum, which means time is going slower. When we're idle we're making no changes in the space-time continuum, and so time goes by faster.
SO:
If we're moving… working out, getting exercise… we're aging SLOWER.
If we're idle… sitting on our ass watching T.V… we're aging FASTER!
Perhaps, if I start running now, and if I run hard enough and fast enough, and do lots of zigzagging, maybe I can get back to my twenties.

If I turn toward the north, and fart, the air expelled will aid me in my journey walking in that direction. If I fart while I am walking backwards toward the north, it will generate a force that will oppose my direction of travel. In fact, the difference between the change due to the fart, and the change due to traveling that slow compared to the speed of light, will be so huge that compared to the insignificance of the change in aging, the fart will seem like a 1,000,000 megaton nuclear explosion.

Technically we are always moving. If you're sitting on your ass, you're sitting on a planet that is rotating, while orbiting a star, in a solar system that is orbiting the center of a galaxy that is traveling through space. So spacetime is constantly flowing through you, never stagnant.
So if you plan on running to age less, make sure you're running with the flow that's already there.. If you run against it, you could possibly move slower through spacetime than if you were sitting still.

LOL! Let me know if that works 
And what a podcast to listen to! I have not listened to anything that difficult.

This was it... it wasn't technically a podcast, but it took me a long time to finish, so it seemed like one to me. Ironically, after listening to this I understand relativity even less than I did before. 
Enjoy being online again!
