I did the challenge too. While I managed to keep it down thanks to my tolerance for spice, I wish I did come up. My tender asshole does not have the same tolerance for spice as my mouth. So at about 1am it happened, I began shitting what I can only describe as the lava we've all seen in documentaries about volcanos. I was grunting and moaning loudly enough to wake my 3 year old son and scared him badly enough that he ran crying to his mom. The next morning it hurt to even sit down after all the encores that had happened through the night.

You are right about the time dialation effect. But you should be aware of how great those effects are. To think the time dialation effect would impact GPS calculations by 10 km a day.

I'm going to copy info from https://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/pogge.1/Ast162/Unit5/gps.html#:~:text=As%20such%2C%20when%20viewed%20from,by%2045%20microseconds%20per%20day.

"Further, the satellites are in orbits high above the Earth, where the curvature of spacetime due to the Earth's mass is less than it is at the Earth's surface. A prediction of General Relativity is that clocks closer to a massive object will seem to tick more slowly than those located further away (see the Black Holes lecture). As such, when viewed from the surface of the Earth, the clocks on the satellites appear to be ticking faster than identical clocks on the ground. A calculation using General Relativity predicts that the clocks in each GPS satellite should get ahead of ground-based clocks by 45 microseconds per day.

The combination of these two relativitic effects means that the clocks on-board each satellite should tick faster than identical clocks on the ground by about 38 microseconds per day (45-7=38)! This sounds small, but the high-precision required of the GPS system requires nanosecond accuracy, and 38 microseconds is 38,000 nanoseconds. If these effects were not properly taken into account, a navigational fix based on the GPS constellation would be false after only 2 minutes, and errors in global positions would continue to accumulate at a rate of about 10 kilometers each day!"
