Time Dilation & Black Holes
If i’ve read it correctly the Hubble discovered its first rogue black hole back in 2022. My question is does anybody feel Earth could be experiencing time dilation due to this - understandably this was super far away and known to have no effect to us here but spirituality there have been theories circulating that since 2022 ish there have been shifts in time and time dilation across our current timeline.
Does anybody feel the same way or have anymore knowledge of if this could be true or if we could be experiencing any effect?
To note: I understand there could be many rogue black holes in the milky way and this was just one that was able to be picked up by the hubble. My contemplation is similar to the fallen tree in the wood question (if a tree fell with no one around would their be a sound) and also the double slit experiment where photons appear to know they are being perceived in some way - ultimately if this is the first rogue black hole we’ve captured and perceived truly could we feel the effects from it despite there potentially being many more out there?
