Who Is Better at flying?

Who Is better at flying? Birds or Bats? 

Bats are better at precision flying and can fly through tight spaces. Their flight is more acrobatic, excuse the pun. They can make tight turns mid flight and fly through trees without hitting any branches. 

Birds are generally better at long distance and high speed flights, their feathers are fine tuned to make flying efficient over long distances. They soar high in the sky and exploit thermals and changes in the wind. 

Rock Age Paradox

If a rock on Mercury formed at the same time as a rock on Earth, the rock on Earth will be older than the rock on Mercury. 

Why? 

Because Mercury is moving faster than Earth and it is closer to the sun, the sun's gravity slows down time and so does speed. The faster you move, the more your time slows down. The more gravity is near you, the slower time passes. 

It's a paradox because in the example, both rocks formed at the same time, but the one on earth is older.
