note that time is affected by gravity in a very slight manner. In general, time passes more slowly in a region of higher gravity than it does in a region of lower gravity. This is known as the gravitational time dilation effect and has been experimentally verified. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time passes more slowly near a massive object such as a black hole. This is because the curvature of space-time caused by the object’s gravity affects the path that light takes and thus alters the flow of time.
