Can Black Holes Bend Time?

AI Thread Summary
Black holes can bend time due to the effects of gravitational time dilation, which is supported by experimental evidence like the Pound-Rebka-Snider experiment. The bending of spacetime occurs around all sources of mass and energy, leading to gravitational effects. This phenomenon suggests that time can be influenced by gravity, contradicting the notion that time bending is impossible. Therefore, if black holes are capable of bending time, it implies that time bending is indeed possible. The discussion highlights the relationship between mass, gravity, and the nature of time itself.

how can black holes bend time if time bending is impossible ?

Gravitational time dilation is well established by experimental evidence - e.g., Pound-Rebka-Snider experiment.

if time bending is impossible, then black holes cannot do it

if black holes can do it, then it isn't impossible
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
