I don't have the math skills to do such a calculation but if a million solar mass object replacing our sun would slow time down 1%, then looking at the 1.5 trillion solar mass of the milky way as 1 object would slow time down significantly more as compared to space unaffected by gravity. Also...

Im suggesting that our preception of time is being slowed because of the combined energy well of our entire galaxy, not just the black hole. Even if it's a small difference between our time and intergalactic Time, it would have a compounded effect on something we are perceiving as being billions...

If time slows down near a black hole then doesn't it stand to reason that time is slower in our galaxy than inbetween galaxies. If that's the case, wouldn't our measurements of distant galaxies be over estimated do to time being faster intergalacticly. Would this time dilation help explain part...
