Reply to comment by Siliskk in Time dilation question by [deleted]

It’s been a while since I saw the movie. I believe the one hour on the other planet created a +7 year earth time for the astronauts because an hour on that planet plus the trip home at near light speed was what caused the time. It’s a function that accounted for the delayed trip home and the travel at near light speed

I think you may be misunderstanding the movie...(or I'm misunderstanding you...) There was no lightspeed travel. It was a wormhole. The time dilation was solely due to the proximity to the blackhole.

Ok. It’s probably me. It’s been a good five years since I saw it. I’ll rewatch it, it was entertaining
