What can happen if you fall into a black hole?
Saw, few days ago, this simulation...but, hypothetically, what can happen if you fall into a black hole?
Let's assume that you start outside the event horizon of the black hole. As you look toward it, you see a circle of perfect darkness. Around the black hole, you see the familiar stars of the night sky. But their pattern is strangely distorted, as the light from distant stars gets bent by the black hole's gravity.
As you fall toward the black hole, you move faster and faster, accelerated by its gravity. Your feet feel a stronger gravitational pull than your head, because they are closer to the black hole. As a result, your body is stretched apart. For small black holes, this stretching is so strong that your body is completely torn apart before you reach the event horizon.
If you fall into a supermassive black hole, your body remains intact, even as you cross the event horizon. But soon thereafter you reach the central singularity, where you are squashed into a single point of infinite density. You have become one with the black hole. Unfortunately, you are unable to write home about the experience.
Info via Hubble Site, also try their simulation and fall into a black hole:

I will slowly be stretched and finally be tall!
ReplyDeleteBut, only temporarily...
You make a good point, Eric Ramos.

You travel to another dimension full of bookshelves where you can see into the past and subtly manipulate things. Although in fact the concept of time is warped and past, present and future all coincide...
ReplyDeleteI like to point out that this is theory, not tested fact. It's based on pretty reasonable assumptions about what we've registered with our devices, but it's not like we have any examples or direct experiences to draw on. For all we know, black holes are warp gates and we can actually navigate across space via them!
ReplyDeleteKyle Macland yeah, wormhole theory. the idea that it is possible to bend time or space such that movement could happen nearly instantly between distant points.
ReplyDeleteIf you were given the opportunity to experience the black hole, would you do it Corina Marinescu ?
ReplyDeleteIn my late 90's ..yeah, but not right now Alan James ;)
ReplyDeleteAlright, I'll accept that...🤔😉 Corina Marinescu
