and now for another installment of what
if you ever wonder what would happen if
you fell into a black hole first some
background black holes are regions of
space where the gravity is so high that
the fabric of space and time has curved
back on itself taking exit doors with
it we have a LIF off light is the
fastest stuff of the Universe not even
light can
escape if light can't escape neither can
you which is why we call these things
black
holes this boundary within which light
cannot Escape we call that the event
horizon all the stuff within the Event
Horizon has collapsed to an
infinitesimal point at the center ready
here we go I'm going to fall to the
black hole feet first as as I get closer
and closer the force of gravity grows
astronomically but I can't feel it
because like anything else in freef Fall
I'm just
weightless but I'm starting to feel
something else something sinister my
feet are closer to the black hole so
gravity pulls on them harder than at my
head this difference in force from head
to toe is normally tiny and it goes
unnoticed on places like Earth but in a
fall towards a black hole this
stretching force is all you'd notice if
I were made of rubber then i' just
stretch but our bodies have made of
things like bones and muscles and organs
I would stay whole until the stretching
Force exceeded the molecular bonds of my
body's
flesh at that moment my body would snap
into two segments that's not even the
worst part everything of me that ever
was gets funneled to the black hole
center so not only have I been ripped in
half I'm being extruded through the
fabric of space and time like toothpaste
through a tube as I keep falling the
difference in gravity continues to grow
and each of my two body segments snaps
into two more segments and so on
splitting my body into ever increasing
number of Parts all the way down to the
atoms
themselves and Beyond leaving an
unrecognizable parade of particles that
just a few moments earlier had been
me we have a word for this cause of
death
