Got a hypothetical question for #physics scholars and / or #scifi enthusiasts:
The characters in "Interstellar" discuss managing time dilation which makes 1 hour gravity affected time equivalent to 2 years of reference time. (that's a 1 : 17532 ratio!)
What is the gravitational field strength needed to cause such a time dilation ratio?
What would be the mechanical effects of such gravitational acceleration?
I attempted to make a calculation but the numbers made spreadsheet throw a conrod.
@StefanoGaivota if the sun was a black hole - the event horizon would be at a radius of 2953.2500765 m
To get a time dialation of 17532, you would need to be 0.01 mm above it.
@StefanoGaivota a more realistic* measure is - what orbit around our black-hole sun would result in 17532 time dilation:
A circular orbit with a radius of 4429.875114 m
(This precision is required because even 0.01mm change gives a vastly different result.)
@ijk64 Thanks for your input. It doesn't seem to me to be an easily survivable trip :D
