Time Dilation Clock

Visualizing the flow of time near a black hole

Timefall: A Relativity Clock

Watch how time stretches as gravity bends spacetime—two perspectives, one cosmic moment.

Observer Time

--:--:--

An external observer, far from the black hole, experiences time in a familiar cadence.

Gravitational Time Dilation

Δt' = Δt × √(1 - gravityFactor)
gravityFactor ≈ 0.80

Strong gravity slows proper time for the traveler. To a distant observer, their clock lags behind.

Near the Singularity

--:--:--

Closer to the event horizon, time dilates and ticks crawl under intense gravitational pull.

Current factor: 0.80

Time Differential

Closer to a black hole, gravity slows time. Adjust the slider to see how 1 hour here compares to time far from the singularity.

1 hour near the singularity equals
--:--:--
of distant observer time.
