At work.
There was a documentary ages ago with Peter Ustinov hosting.
It was the first time I'd seen the "Black hole time dilation with twins" explained.
Namely that; If you have two twins. One orbits the black hole out at a 'Safe' distance while the other has an orbit that slowly draws closer to the 'Event horizon' of the black hole. (The point at which nothing, even photons, can escape)
From the point of veiw of the 'Safe' twin. Reality carries on as normal but they see their 'Descending' twin appear to slow down.... possibly even seeming to 'Freeze' and stop moving altogether.
While, to the twin drawing ever closer and closer to the event horizon, everything also seems 'Normal'. However everything further away from their position, or 'Further out' from the event horizon, seems to 'Speed up'. Untill the outside reality simply passes by in a blurr.
Hope my recounting of the tale helps some.
Cheers.
