Would you age slower near a black hole?

In short, a person near a black hole will age slower compared to someone far away from the black hole. This is because the passing of time is slowed down due to the extremely strong gravitational field near the black hole and thus, any physical aging processes will also happen slower.

Would you stop aging in a black hole?

Nope. You can still expect a normal human lifespan as measured by your own watch and calendar. Sure, billions of years would pass on the Earth in the meantime, but you will not experience billions of years. You will experience a few decades, like any human being would.

Does being near a black hole slow down time?

As you get closer to a black hole, the flow of time slows down, compared to flow of time far from the hole. (According to Einstein's theory, any massive body, including the Earth, produces this effect.

How much does time slow down near a black hole?

Time slows down near any massive body; black holes are merely the most extreme example. GPS satellites orbiting the Earth have to correct for the fact that time passes very very slightly more slowly on the Earth's surface than it does in geosynchronous orbit -- by about one second per every 60 years.

Why does time slow down as you approach a black hole?

An object approaching the event horizon would appear to be slowing down as it approaches the black hole instead of speeding up as we would expect. This is because of time dilation, which slows the passing of time for an object moving close to the speed of light with respect to an outside observer.

What would spaghettification feel like?

Because of the tidal forces it would feel as if you are being stretched head to toe, while your sides would feel like they are being pushed inward. Eventually the tidal forces would become so strong that they would rip you apart. This effect of tidal stretching is sometimes boringly referred to as spaghettification.

How is 1 hour 7 years in interstellar?

The first planet they land on is close to a supermassive black hole, dubbed Gargantuan, whose gravitational pull causes massive waves on the planet that toss their spacecraft about. Its proximity to the black hole also causes an extreme time dilation, where one hour on the distant planet equals 7 years on Earth.

Do you age slower in space?

Scientists have recently observed for the first time that, on an epigenetic level, astronauts age more slowly during long-term simulated space travel than they would have if their feet had been planted on Planet Earth.

Why is time slower the faster you go?

Time slows down as you travel faster because momentum bends the fabric of spacetime causing time to pass slower.

Does time go faster or slower in space?

A clock in outer space moves more quickly than a clock on Earth. Heavy things like planets create a gravitational field that slows down time nearby. This means that a clock on a spaceship far away from any planet would move faster than a clock near Earth.

Does time go faster in a black hole?

Time slows down near a black hole due to the extremely strong gravitational field of the black hole. According to the theory of general relativity, this phenomenon is due to the gravity of the black hole curving spacetime in a way that affects all measurements of time and space near the black hole.

How long is 1 second in black hole?

Even if we see the universe from a point very close to the apparent event horizon, the time dilates to such an extent that the time of the locations away from tne universe will be much faster (say 1 second for the observer near blak hole will be 100000 years for an observer on earth).

Do you age in a coma?

the cellular mechanism for ageing has been associated with progressive shortening of telomere length on the ends of each chromosome with each cell cycle.. in the contect of this, a coma wouldnt necessarily keep you young, but you would age just the same.

Does time move faster as you age?

As we get older the rate of new experiences lessens compared with youth, when almost everything is new. That leads to a sense of the days being longer but time passing much more quickly overall.

What happens if you stay in space for 5 years?

Astronauts who have stayed in space for long periods have problems with their circulation and eyesight. That's in addition to losses in bone and muscle tissue. Kelly has collected fluid samples and undergone rigorous medical testing to document these changes over the course of his trip.

Could Miller's planet exist?

There is no sign of dry land on Miller, which may not exist because of the sheer volume of water on the planet. Dr. Amelia Brand describes the planet as "sterile" in accordance with the data findings of Dr. Laura Miller.

Would you age slower on Mars?

Short answer: Most likely not, but we don't really know. There are theories about how gravity affects the physiology of our body, and we know what aspects get affected by lack of gravity. The overwhelming majority of effects noted due to low gravity are negative.

How cold is space?

Would you feel pain in a black hole?

The fate of anyone falling into a black hole would be a painful “spaghettification,” an idea popularized by Stephen Hawking in his book “A Brief History of Time.” In spaghettification, the intense gravity of the black hole would pull you apart, separating your bones, muscles, sinews and even molecules.

Can a human survive spaghettification?

Your body would follow geodesics, and hence the whole structure of your body will continue to exist as it did before, simply living in a space with different rules. Of course, given that nothing else but space curvature interferes with you (e.g. radiation from black hole).

What is a white black hole?

White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that function in the opposite way to black holes. Just as nothing can escape a black hole, nothing can enter a white hole. White holes were long thought to be a figment of general relativity born from the same equations as their collapsed star brethren, black holes.
