Question About Gravitational Time Dilation

AI Thread Summary
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, a person on a planet with significantly stronger gravity would experience time at a slower rate compared to Earth. If one hour on that planet equates to ten years on Earth, then spending two hours there would result in a time difference of twenty years upon returning. This implies that the individual would appear twenty years younger than their peers who remained on Earth. The discussion also included a brief note on formatting preferences, emphasizing the annoyance of excessive capitalization. Overall, the conversation centered around the implications of gravitational time dilation as described by relativity.

According To Einstein's Relativity. Supposing a Man Went To Another Planet That Has a Gravity More Than Earth Hundreds Of Time Which Means That Time Is Too Slower There Than Earth.
If We Say That 1 Hour In That Planet Is 10 Years On Earth And He Stayed 2 Hours There Will He Comeback To Earth Looking 20 Years Younger Than Other People Who Were at The Same Age When He Left ?

Yes, he will come back as a thin red paste that is 20 years younger than the human that left (this does not count travel time).

By the way, please stop capitalizing every word. It's annoying.

Thanks for the answer. And sorry about the capitalizin of words it has become a habit for me ;) :wink:

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
