What does gravity do to time?
A
speeds it up
B
slows it down
C
nothing
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts that where gravity is stronger, time passes more slowly. That’s called time dilation. Gravity is stronger closer to the center of the Earth. So, according to Einstein, time should pass more slowly closer to the ground.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gravitational time dilation occurs because objects with a lot of mass create a strong gravitational field. The gravitational field is really a curving of space and time. The stronger the gravity, the more spacetime curves, and the slower time itself proceeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The clock is ticking in space where no gravity exists. It moves to a planet, and the force of gravity causes the clock to slow down, and the display of time slows down. Time moves slower. Then that planet enters a black hole, and the clock stops working.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unfortunately, there is no way to slow down time, however, there are some tips and tricks that could help you slow down the perception of time. Being more mindful and present will help you take in your surroundings and form more memories, in turn making it seems that time is slowing down.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gravity does NOT warp the flow of time. It’s the other way around the warping of time causes gravity.
