Falling Into a Black Hole

Black holes can literally rip you apart atom by atom through a process scientists call

spaghettification. If you fell into one feet first, the gravity pulling on your feet would

be so much stronger than the gravity on your head that you'd be stretched like a noodle until

you tore apart. But here's what's even wilder. Time slows down near black holes.

If someone watched you fall in, they'd see you freeze at the edge, stuck there forever

like a cosmic photograph. Meanwhile from your perspective, you'd fall right through in seconds.

And the really terrifying part? Once you cross the event horizon, escape becomes physically

impossible. Not difficult. Impossible. Even light can't get out.
