Time Slows Near Black Holes Explained #Space Near a black hole, gravity becomes so extreme that it warps spacetime itself, causing time to pass far more slowly than it does on Earth. This phenomenon, known as gravitational time dilation, is a real prediction of Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. As an object approaches a black hole’s event horizon, the time-slowing effect intensifies dramatically. In theory, someone hovering close to a black hole could experience just one hour, whil

Time behaves very differently around black holes compared to Earth due to extreme gravitational fields. This phenomenon, called gravitational time dilation, was predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. Here’s a simplified breakdown: . Time on Earth: Earth has a relatively weak gravitational field, so time flows in a nearly "normal" way for us. . Time near a Black Hole: As you get closer to a black hole, the gravitational pull intensifies, and time slows dramatically. If someone were
