Imagine this: you orbit just outside the event horizon of a supermassive black hole—for just one hour.
When you return to Earth, thousands or even millions of years could have passed.
Civilizations changed, languages vanished, stars lived entire lifetimes, and everyone you once knew exists only in history.
Not because you traveled fast… but because time itself slowed around you.
This is not science fiction.
It’s gravitational time dilation, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s general relativity and confirmed through precise measurements with satellites, atomic clocks, and observations of extreme astrophysical objects.
Near a black hole, gravity doesn’t just bend space—it stretches time.
The closer you orbit to the event horizon, the more intensely time slows for you. To distant observers, you would appear frozen. To you, the universe outside would rush forward at impossible speed.
Black holes aren’t just cosmic monsters.
They are masters of time, warping it into shapes our minds struggle to understand.
If the thought of time being a flexible dimension blows your mind, drop a 🌑 below.
