In Interstellar when they were on the water planet, every minute they spent there, several days passed on Earth. From outside observer’s point of view from Earth, everything happening on the water planet was in slow motion. Why isn’t it the other way around?

The question of why on the fundamental level will have the answer because that is how the universe works.

Asking why is not what scientists do. Science describes how the universe works and what is the result of that in the universe.

The answer of why gravity work that way might be that is is the only way it could work is it might be that we just by changes live i a universe that work like that, As long as we are limited to inside out universe we will always reach the point that is how the universe works.

Even if we could get outside out of the universe the question just moves the problem to that level.
