I second the other commenters, and recommend watching the linked videos.

General Relativity and Entropy have not yet been unified into a single theory. In the meantime, gravity always takes priority over entropy. Or in other words, physicists don't yet know how gravity could make entropy slower or faster, so gravity ignores entropy and entropy just has to deal with whatever happens within the gravitational field.

A spaceship in a strong gravity field would not know their time was any different. Someone outside the field would give them a different relative measurement. But inside the field, entropy is not slower and not faster, because the spaceship doesn't see any change in the speed of their own clocks, even if they hear from someone else that their clocks are going at a different speed.

Good luck!
