Time Dilation by Latitude refers to Albert Einstein's prediction that time would tick slower at the equator than at the poles.
From The Fascinating Life and Theory of Albert Einstein:
“ In Einstein's original paper on the Special Theory of Relativity, "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", he mentioned a thought experiment using two identical clocks. One clock was placed on the equator and the other at one pole of the Earth. The clock on the equator had a faster speed then that at the pole due to the rotation of the earth. He claimed that the clock on the equator would run slower than the one at the pole. ”
