Black Holes Merge: A Historic Spacetime Event

Knowledge on Instagram: "According to Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, gravity affects the flow of time through a phenomenon called gravitational time dilation. The stronger the gravitational field, the slower time passes relative to areas with weaker gravity. Near massive objects like planets, stars, or black holes, clocks tick more slowly. This effect is measurable with precise atomic clocks and is crucial for technologies like GPS. Near a black hole, seconds can equal years far away,
