How do black holes affect time?

Gravity is a result of time slowing down because spacetime is curved, not a force, as demonstrated by Einstein's demonstration that time is a fourth dimension of spacetime.

Time stops at the event horizon of a black hole due to the extreme gravity of the hole.

Nothing in the universe can change the passage of time, but one's perception of time can be affected by being near an object that has a high gravitational field. For example, mathematic calculations indicate that if two identical twins were born, and one spent their entire life in a space station and the other on Earth, the twin in space would age more quickly.

Gravitational Time Dilation is the phenomenon whereby if you were to be extremely close to a black hole without dying, it would appear as though nothing changed, but from outside it would appear as though years had passed. Black holes are very similar, but they are much more extreme.

Gravitational time dilation is a phenomenon whereby objects approaching a black hole's event horizon experience a slowing down of time relative to observers further away from the black hole. This effect is explicable in astronomical observations of objects orbiting black holes and is predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Black holes affect time due to their immense gravitational pull. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity warps the fabric of space-time. Near a black hole, this warping becomes extreme, causing time to slow down significantly compared to areas with weaker gravitational fields. This effect is known as time dilation. As an observer gets closer to a black hole, time appears to pass more slowly for them compared to someone farther away. Additionally, for an outside observer, time appears to stand still at the event horizon of a black hole, where gravitational effects are most intense. This phenomenon has been confirmed by both theoretical calculations and observational evidence.
