Time dilation is only relative to somebody far away. As you go closer and closer to the black hole, it's as though you're rota in space time. And we can think of both gravity and moving quickly as creating rotations between the space times of two observers. So if one observeris thinking that this is left, and another observer is facing them, they understand that they're gong to disagree about which way is left. They so somesimes. I don't think it happenot sto. It is hid. In front of ortema.
Is anything real? Is time just a construct? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Matt Kirshen answer your far-out questions about black holes, dark matter, and the universe with astrophysicist Janna Levin.
