Time on the International Space Station (ISS) runs slightly slower than on Earth due to the effects of both special and general relativity. According to special relativity, time dilates for objects moving at high speeds, and the ISS orbits Earth at approximately 28,000 kilometers per hour. Additionally, general relativity states that time runs slower in stronger gravitational fields, and since the ISS is farther from Earth's gravitational pull, this also contributes to the time discrepancy. As a result, astronauts on the ISS experience time at a slightly different rate compared to people on Earth.

Do astronauts live longer if sent into space?

Technically they do not live longer and in other ways they do. If an Astronaut spends enough time in space then time to them will flow slower than it would on earth. When astronauts spend time on the ISS they come back younger as time for them has gone by slower. Yes this is a hard concept to explain

Could black holes be time warps?

Black holes do distort time. The closer you get to the event horizon of a black hole, the slower time goes. From the perspective of someone outside, time at the event horizon stops.
