Someone who didn't actually read the chat well enough.

Also, are you implying that I used the blf logo wrong? They're both blf users, anyway.

if you go near a black hole it could like allow you to travel through time faster (?)
Ya. There are 2 things that I know of that affect the rate of time passing - speed and gravitational force. More speed causes you to travel through time faster, and more gravity causes you to travel through time faster.

Think about the GPS satellites that I mentioned in the chat. Relative to the earth, they move very fast (8,700 mph), but they also have less gravitational force acting on them compared to where we are on earth's surface. So you can see that the increased speed would cause the satellites to travel faster through time, but the decreased gravity opposes that increase slightly, causing it to travel slower through time. But overall, the satellite moves through time a little faster than here on earth's surface. The satellite's speed affects its time dilation more than the gravitational force on it.

Black holes have super high amounts of mass, so they cause extremely high gravitational forces. If you get too close to a black hole you'll experience spaghettification. Idk how much gravity we could take before being stretched out like spaghetti, which is pretty much what spaghettification means in astrophysics lol

Hey OP, I wanted to thank you for giving examples in your work, instead of just trying to force - feed everyone the idea that theory of relativity is correct.
