Think of time like a river that flows everywhere. In most places, the river flows smoothly and quickly. But when there’s something really heavy — like a black hole — it’s like putting a big rock in the middle of the river. The water (time) around the rock starts to flow slower. It doesn’t stop, but it slows down a lot. So near something super heavy, like a black hole, time itself slows down — just like water flowing more slowly near a big rock. If you were close to a black hole, one minute for you could be hours or years for someone far away! 🕐⏳🐌 So, gravity doesn’t just pull things — it also slows down time. The stronger the gravity, the slower time moves. By: ChatGPT ✨
