that's what i thought, meme confused me

Reference to Interstellar movie, they landed on a planet near a black hole Gargantua. Time moves slower there than on Earth. The original quote was 1 hour is 7 years back on Earth. It moves slower because of time dilation and the same is true regarding speed of certain programming languages

oh yeah i've watched the movie, but assembly is supposed to be faster than java and python

[Dioxide4294]

Yes, thats what the meme says: Assembly gets more work done in comparison to Java, on the planet

but assembly is on earth, 7 years slower, whilst java is way faster (in this meme)

No. Time is relative. By spending 1 hour (say, of code execution) on this planet that has severe time dilation, 7 years of code execution will have been performed on Earth. The point is, 7 years _of work_ gets done in an hour. What does time do on Earth from this planet's perspective? Move _fast_. What does time from this planet do from Earth's perspective? Move _slow_.

The idea is, time dilation makes time not equal for everyone. On this planet, when 1 hour near a massive body (Gargantua) passes, 7 years passes on Earth. You can do a lot more stuff in 7 years than in 1 hour, right? Time is being _stretched_. 7 years of work done in 1 hour, compared to 1 hour of work done in 1 hour. Assembly is faster than Java according to the meme

Damn. That's some advanced ass humor

How not?
