A neutron star is right on the edge of being a black hole, which has infinite time dilation. A neutron star should have very very high time dilation.

A neutron star is right on the edge of being a black hole, which has infinite time dilation. A neutron star should have very very high time dilation.
- aortega 4y agoThere is a big difference between infinite and very high gravity. Neutron stars have only about 50% time dilation on the surface, as the surface is at about 50% their Schwarzschild radius.
- bmitc 4y ago> the surface is at about 50% their Schwarzschild radius Don’t you mean 100%? From what I can tell, the radius of a neutron star is about twice its Schwarzschild radius. https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2001/46/aah3021.pdf https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2001/46/aah3021.pdf
