The article proposes to correct one of the well-known simplest relations of the general theory of relativity, which makes it possible to estimate the time dilation near a large gravitational mass within the framework of the classical relativistic field theory. This ratio is obtained from Lorentz transformations taking into account the gravitational potential of the Earth, and is used in calculations of the effects of time dilation near black holes. In this case, the gravitational potential of black holes in absolute value significantly exceeds the gravitational potential of the Earth. By correcting the relation, it is found that the Schwarzschild radius (i.e., the characteristic size of a black hole) may turn out to be two times smaller than previously thought. In addition, the time an object spends on the event horizon (from the point of view of an external observer) is long, but not infinite. The simplest spherically symmetric Schwarzschild black hole is considered. The unity of the universe allows us to assume the existence of not only a space-energy potential barrier, but also a space-time barrier. If the assumption turns out to be correct, we can expect the possibility of moving through the event horizon. In addition, there is a non-zero probability of an object flying out of a black hole into the surrounding space. In this case, the ratio of the gravitational constant to the square of the speed of light acts as a single fundamental constant.
