When you think about it, time is an arbitrary construct — it's our way of making sense of growing up and growing old.
,"at sea level you age one-billionth of a second less every year than you would if you lived on top of Mt. Everest."). This is due to a phenomenon posited by general relativity called gravitational time dilation.Objects with a lot of mass create a strong gravitational field. This gravitational field
What's even more interesting is that mass can warp the very fabric of time itself, causing it to move slower or faster depending on how massive the object is, and how strong the object's gravitational pull is, which is where time dilation really becomes wonky to us.It should be noted, however, that an observer in the strong gravity experiences time as running normally. It is only To a person in strong gravity, time appears to pass normally, while a clock in weak gravity runs fast.
From the point of view of the observer near the event horizon, one day may have passed, while the person observing from the outside may have experienced a decade of time. Eventually, time may appear to stop altogether for the observer near the event horizon. Black holes can be formed when a massive star reaches the end of its life, its core begins to collapse in on itself, spitting out large quantities of gas and dust in a supernova event. The star must be at least three times as massive as our Sun in order for this process to occur. It is thought that supermassive black holes, may be formed by a sort of chain reaction, and this is where extreme time dilation comes in.
