Where this really gets interesting is when one considers black holes. Black holes are formed when a sufficiently large star tuns out of its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own weight. The extreme amount of pressure can force the entire mass of the star to shrink to a singularity, around this singularity there is an event horizon at which the gravity has become so strong as to not even allow light to escape. The singularity is said to have infinite space-time curvature and hence an infinite time dilation factor.

An object cant really survive inside a black hole but fo the point of this discussion lets just say it can. Lets just say a person approaches a black hole, as they get closer time in their frame of reference will be slowing down, but they wont notice it. Once they get passed the event horizon where space time curvature becomes infinite, the time dilation becomes infinite. This means that for even the smallest increment of time that passes inside the black hole an infinite amount of time passes on the outside. This person has effectively just travelled to the end of time... but how can time end? This is just one of the few unexplained mysteries of the universe. Currently I believe that we are exploring what we think is mathematically possible but we are not yet sure if it truely models our reality.
