Black Holes and The Concept of Time

[TLK]

Re: Black Holes and The Concept of Time

Well, going by the Einstein’s theory of general relativity suggests that time slows down for an object when it gets closer to a black hole and therefore virtually stands still inside it.

Hypothetically speaking, black hole gives a whole new concept to time travel. But that’s that. A theory!

One wonders if creating of a black hole is possible in a human lab at all?

If it is, it feel highly imposible to use it for time travel, otherwise, we would have people from the future visiting us every now and then. But then, what if they have also invented some technology to hide themselves similar to the theory of Einstein about aborbing light and become invisible. Scary, I tell you.

Ahhh my all time favorite topic. I can write pages after pages on this.

Couple of clarification for other who would be reading your post.

Time stands still around black hole, for the observer who is watching it from a distance. From the perspective of person who is at event horizon or inside black hole. it flows normally.

Time Travel through black hole is only one way and to the future only. You cannot use black hole to go back in past.
