Summary
A physicist suggests throwing the villains into high-gravity space for rapid training, based on real-time changes in perception. Ohta suggests near the event horizon of a black hole for a time difference; mentioning that teleportation is not scientifically feasible. Despite the dangers of Room, the benefits of training are real; proving that some parts of Dragon Ball have a scientific basis.
The room of spirit and time from Dragon ball It may be implausible, but it's not impossible to replicate. On the official Dragon Ball website, Professor Nobuyoshi Ohta, a researcher in elementary particles and gravity, was interviewed about the mechanics of the training room in the manga. According to him, creating a way to train a year in a day is not impossible, although it comes with some caveats.
Also called as The “Hyperbolic Time Chamber,” this high-gravity, low-oxygen, time-warping plot device has been used throughout dragon ballwhere many heroes are trained to fight Cell and Super Buu. Ohta ponders the feasibility of the Room in reality, whether it be time dilation, teleportation, or the environment.
In fact, despite coming from a completely fictional place, science has observed some parts of it to exist in real life.

Villains need to rest, not heroes.
As an expert on gravity, Ohta was keenly aware of how the perception of time changes with different intensities. “If a year has passed somewhere else, but for me it is only a day; that phenomenon has been observed,” the professor explained. “You see, time passes more slowly in places with stronger gravity.” So instead of suggesting a space for a character to train, Instead, Ohta proposed throwing a villain into a space with high gravity.Like Jupiter or the Sun – while they only spend a day, a hero on Earth will have a year to train.
Another alternative the physicist suggested was near the event horizon of a black hole. While gravity is weak there, time also slows down. When asked about the size of a black hole that would produce a time difference of a year versus a day, Ohta said one would need the mass of a billion Earths to produce the effect. He also discussed the feasibility of other aspects of the Room, such as its ability to teleport. Sadly, folding space requires knowledge that science has yet to discover. “No study has found evidence of a world with more than three dimensions,” Ohta replied.

While the room's low oxygen levels and high gravity would be dangerous for most people, “Anyone who can survive any amount of time in that room will come back much stronger,” the physicist agrees. The Room of Souls and Time has remained a constant presence throughout Toriyama's universe, even appearing as late as Dragon Ball Super. Thanks to Nobuyoshi Ohta, fans should be happy to know that while some parts of Dragon ball It's amazing, getting a year of training in the blink of an eye can become one of the less weird things.
