One of the more interesting narrative elements introduced in the book dragon ball franchise It is a room of spirit and time. After debuting in Android Arc, rooms appear when a character needs to train for a long period of time in a short period of time. This is possible because one day spent in the room is equivalent to one year. While this is a fanciful concept, in a recently published interview Shueishaof vertical jump Dr. Nobuyoshi Ohta, an expert on elementary particles and gravity, suggested in the journal that places like “rooms” might actually exist.

Originally published on dragon ball website in July 2023, and an interview with Dr. Ohta in the August 2024 issue of vertical jump. Although this is a condensed version of the interview, Dr. Ohta talks about creating a house of spirit and time, or at least creating the conditions for it.
In short, creating a room requires two places with different gravitational pulls. “…the stronger the gravity, the slower time slows down,” the physicist explains. He then explains the situation of a person standing on the Earth and another person orbiting the Earth in a space station. In other words, time dilation.
So, using the principles of time dilation associated with gravity, how would we reconstruct this room? Well, Dr. Ohta raises some possibilities. The first is, “…throw your enemy into an existing place with strong gravity, and while your enemy is there, continue training in a place without strong gravity.” Among the places recommended by Dr. Ohta, He mentioned Jupiter and the Sun.
However, when asked to create a time gap of one day to one year, the physicists assumed the edge of the black hole’s event horizon. His exact words were: “As you get closer and closer to the event horizon, time slows down. However, you don’t want a black hole that is too small. This is because for smaller black holes, even close to the event horizon, gravity The intensity will also increase.
in longer interviews dragon ball On the website, Dr. Ohta also details how the Chamber of Spirit and Time has a gravity 10 times stronger than that of Earth. This is an interesting question because in the series, the main character Sun Wukong points out that the room is as big as the Earth. Since the density of the room was not discussed, Dr. Ohta suggested two possibilities. The first is where the characters are warped to a planet with a stronger gravity than Earth. The second is that Room continues to accelerate.
Regarding twisted reasoning, Dr. Ohta talked about the principle of folding space. However, he did mention that “in order for it to work, you need to be able to access a world beyond three dimensions… The only difficulty here is that no research has found any evidence that there is a world beyond three dimensions.” Therefore, this study, while plausible, is inconclusive. However, for constant acceleration, he explains how we experience gravity when accelerating. Therefore, his hypothetical “room” is accelerating.
If Dr. Nobuyoshi Ohta’s hypothesis is correct, we could have a real-life house of mind and time. Of course, it would have to be somewhere with lower gravity than our opponent, and probably be accelerating constantly. So, maybe the opposite of Bulma’s gravity training room.
