When somebody crosses the horizon of a black hole, the person would have the privilege to travel backwards in time (as shown in the movie 'Interstellar'). What are the possiblities of such a person to even survive after getting in a black hole, and how does he even able to travel in the past. Time travel in the future can definitely be considered due to relativity. Relativity also shows how can time be reversed, but how does a black hole cause time to be reversed? Can somebody explain me please?

No, they wouldn't. Movies are not good references for actual science.

It does? Please give a reference.

It doesn't.
 
Assuming that the radiation environment doesn't fry you, you can survive crossing the event horizon of a sufficiently massive black hole. It's the tidal gravity that rips you apart, and that gets weaker for a larger hole. However, after that, all paths lead to the singularity and you will be shredded at some point.
 
I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...
Thread 'Relativity of simultaneity in actuality'
I’m attaching two figures from the book, Basic concepts in relativity and QT, by Resnick and Halliday. They are describing the relativity of simultaneity from a theoretical pov, which I understand. Basically, the lightning strikes at AA’ and BB’ can be deemed simultaneous either in frame S, in which case they will not be simultaneous in frame S’, and vice versa. Only in one of the frames are the two events simultaneous, but not in both, and this claim of simultaneity can be done by either of...
