Is time and aging the same thing?

Time dilation does affect aging.

What I have recently pondered...

If time dilates the faster your velocity, then it slows the slower your velocity.

We are all traveling currently about 1.3 million miles per hour (adding up all the component velocities... Solar system in the galaxy, galaxy in the universe).

What would be different if we could apply an opposite acceleration for a time to effectively slow down to a standstill?

I’m not sure, but would suspect that a human at standstill would from his/her standpoint, still live a normal lifespan. But, to an observer say on Earth travelling 1.3 million MPH faster, the person standing still would have a clock spinning like crazy. Perhaps the standing-still person would appear to have an extremely short lifespan - but, like what? A day? An hour?

I think time and aging are polar opposites...the more aging you do, the less time you have.....
