Journey to the Black Hole {Part -3}

Welcome to the series of Journey to the Black Hole:- (Part - 3)

A gravitational field not only warps space it also warps time. 

Now for the most intensive purposes here on Earth, we never have to worry about that, but near a Black Hole, gravity would be so strong that if observer standing and watching you jumping into the hole would see something quite strange.

They wouldn't see you get sucked quickly into the hole, instead they would see your approach become slower and slower and slower, until you reached a point known as the Event-Horizon.

Event-Horizon

This is a point in space where once crossed there's no going back. It is at that point that light can no longer escape. And so, to a person watching you fall into the hole, that would be where your journey ended.

You would seem almost frozen in space, the light coming off your body becoming increasingly red-shifted until you simply faded into nothingness.

They would never see you cross the Event-Horizon.

But for you, of course, everything would seem fine and dandy.

You would continue pass that horizon to your now, inevitable death. As you continue to approach the Black Hole's Singularity, your view of the entire Universe would get compressed into smaller and smaller point in space behind you.

If the Black Hole we're jumping into was large enough, things actually might be quite comfortable at the Event-Horizon.

We'll know that we're never going to escape and that our lives are pretty much over, but it might take us hours to actually reach a point where things started to hurt.

Why would they hurt? 

Well the closer you get to the Singularity, the more significant the difference in gravitational pull is across space. And so, parts of me that are closer to me that are closer to the Singularity would be pulled more strongly that parts that were facing away and my entire body would be stretched toward the Singularity.

The effect would would be so incredible, scientists don't usually call it stretching, they call it "Spaghettification".

Once you reach this point, you would be dead. Your molecules would be violently ripped and stretched apart, and when they got to the Singularity, well we don't really know what would happen. Perhaps, they would completely disappear in violation of all the laws of physics, may be they would reappear elsewhere in the Universe.
