How fast would you have to travel to be able to orbit a neutron star to be able to time travel into the future?
If you were in a rocket ship how fast would you have to travel to orbit a typical sized neutron star. Because the neutron star has strong gravity, strong enough to accelerate something a soft as a marsh mellow onto its surface at around I think 100,000 miles per hour. If the marsh mellow say just instantly appeared at the surface of the neutron star. And the marsh mellow would have the destructive power of a atomic bomb. So how fast would the rocket ship have to travel to not be accelerated to the surface and destroyed, but also be able to stay in the gravitational time dilated radius of space time around the neutron star, so the rocket ship could time travel into the future using gravitational time dilation. Does it matter how far away the rocket ship is away from the neutron star. I know the closer the rocket ship is to the neutron star the faster it has to travel so it does not get pulled and crushed to the surface of the neutron star. But does it matter how close the rocket ship has to be to the neutron star in order to receive enough time dilation to time travel into the future. Does the rocket ship have to be near the surface to get enough time dilation, or if the rocket ship just enters the point of the curvature of space time the neutron star creates will the rocket ship receive enough time dilation to time travel into the future when the rocket ship is in this area. So the further the rocket ship is away from the neutron star does it matter in terms of getting time dilation to go into the future. So if the rocket ship is far away from the surface of the neutron star, but orbits in the furthest part of radius of the space time it creates would the fastest rocket ship possible on earth be able to orbit this area of curvature of space time at the speed of around 27,000 miles per hour which is I think the fastest a rocket ship can travel, and not get pulled to the neutron stars surface. Basically to put it simply I am asking what is the slowest a rocket ship can travel in a space time curvature around a neutron star to be able to orbit it and receive time dilation to time travel into the future. Thank you for your help and sorry if the the question is not 100 per cent right I am still studying astronomy.
