Mysterious black holes that open the door to time travel: Is it possible to travel to the past?

Black holes are not only the most mysterious objects in the universe, they also theoretically have the potential to enable time travel. So, can black holes really work like time machines?

Black holes, one of the most powerful and mysterious objects in the universe, prevent even light from escaping with their enormous gravitational force. However, the most striking feature of black holes is that they theoretically have the potential to function as time machines.
According to Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, massive objects bend the fabric of space-time and this bending affects everything around them. Black holes are examples that show this warping at its most extreme, because their creatures create deep “valleys” that reach a point where nothing can escape: the event horizon.
The gravitational warping created by black holes causes time to appear to slow down when viewed from the outside. However, a person approaching the black hole feels that time is passing at normal speed. When viewed from the outside, it is observed that the time of objects approaching the event horizon gradually slows down.
Theoretically, it is possible to time travel by approaching a black hole. The black hole’s bending of space-time could cause time to loop, but in this case it would only be possible to travel to a period when the black hole existed. It is not possible to go back in time or visit a time when the black hole had not yet formed.
Approaching a black hole requires encountering the most extreme conditions known in the universe. An object approaching the event horizon is elongated by an effect called spaghettification and faces the risk of breaking apart. What exactly will happen to an object that falls into a black hole is still a great unknown.
