In the movie Interstellar we see a planet close to the event horizon so when the astronauts land and get stuck on the planet for over an hour, many years passes for the guy on the spaceship and when they return he is an old man.
From what I understand, this is indeed what would happen and they consulted with scientists. Correct me if I am wrong.
My question is this. If the guy on the spaceship were to shine a very bright light towards a dark area of the surface of the planet for 30 seconds, being that time is moving much more slowly on the planet, would the light reflect back to him for much longer than he has it on?
Thanks,
Ben
