Yes. Technically, all objects with mass slow down time. It is called gravitational time dilation. Even time at Earth's surface goes by slower than it does at orbital heights. For most objects, though, time dilation is minuscule. Black holes are the exception. Time near the event horizon of a black hole goes by much slower than in surrounding space. From an outside perspective, time at the event horizon stands still.

How do black holes slow down time?

Black holes slow down time because of their strong gravitational pull. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, gravity can bend and warp spacetime, causing time to pass more slowly near a massive object like a black hole. This effect is known as time dilation.


How much do black holes slow time down?

The degree to which time slows depends on the distance to the event horizon. From an outside perspective, time at the event horizon stops.


Why do train tracks have holes in them?

So the air pressure doesn't slow down the movement.


What travels farther a ping pong ball or a plastic ball with holes that is the same size?

ping pong ball the holes in a ball with holes(whiffle ball) slow it down.


Will there be more or fewer black holes in the future?

about Black HolesLikely their will be fewer and fewer although Larger as time passes. In the current regime of the Unverse, as galaxies merge and collide, Many Black Holes will be attracted to each other and eventually merge together into larger ones. Their will also continue to be newly created black holes as stars will continue to collapse.If the universe continues to expand however these black holes will become more and more distant from each other thereby foiling further mergers. There will be more and they will suck up the entire universe.."shivers" .......im scared........


Does downloading java slow down your computer?

UM...... Not really bcuz i have java on my computer n its not slow @ all.


Why would a ping pong ball go farther with holes in it then with no holes?

The holes reduce the air resistance acting on the ball by allowing air to flow through them. This decreases the drag force on the ball, enabling it to travel farther than a ball without holes.


When black holes die?

Black holes do slowly "evaporate" through something called Hawking Radiation. The process is extremely slow and the bigger the black hole the slower it becomes. A black hole the mass of the sun would take about 2x10^67 years to disappear, which is many orders of magnitude greater than the age of the universe.


Does time slow down or speed up when you fall down a black hole?

Neither. Time will flow as normal.


My action replay down loader is really slow is it broken?

it does that its not broken trust me.


How do white holes start?

They don't. No white hole has been found, it's a theoretical construct - it answers the question: 'what would happen if a black hole went back in time?' It has been theorized that they COULD be the other side of a black hole (if there is one.) White holes are like tachyons: tachyons are particles that go faster than the speed of light and can never slow down to the speed of light.


How fast can Black holes suck something up?

You would think very fast, since their gravity is so strong. However, the closer to a black hole something gets, the more warped is the spacetime. Time appears very slow near a black hole, so the question is does it take a really long time to suck summat up?
