>>11725971mhhh been thinking about this post for a bit now. Maybe you could say it appears only to take 'a while' because you enter a 'slow-motion-zone'? Say earth was orbitting this black hole at some distance far away and made one full go around each year. And on this earth someone is shinning a giga laser pointing at the black hole, you're hovering in the same plane of rotation. You'd see a red dot appear 50 times, which means earth APPEARS to move faster than usual. Which well, means time mustve slowed down for you? Does this really slow down like all biological processes and everything? Because your retina still captures the 'outside' world, taken into extreme I guess this is why they say that if you fall into a blackhole you see the whole life of the universe before you.
Anyways I dont know man, I would like to know how or why we think we know time slows down near big gravitational objects, anything specific I can look for? Books/theories/youtube videos etc, i'm all ears
