What happens if you get too close to a black hole?

Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy states that if a person were to approach a black hole feet-first, it would pull his feet at a faster and stronger rate than it would pull his head. This essentially means that the person’s body would be stretched into a long, thin strand until it was eventually fragmented.

What happens if the Earth is sucked into a black hole?

“A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying. Because no light can get out, people can’t see black holes.

What exactly happens inside a black hole?

A black hole is a tremendous amount of matter crammed into a very small – in fact, zero – amount of space. The result is a powerful gravitational pull, from which not even light can escape – and, therefore, we have no information or insight as to what life is like inside.

What happens if you go in a black hole in space?

As you go deeper into the black hole, space becomes ever more curvy until, at the centre, it becomes infinitely curved. This is the singularity. Space and time cease to be meaningful ideas, and the laws of physics as we know them — all of which require space and time — no longer apply. What happens here, no one knows.

How can you escape a black hole?

For a particle to escape a black hole, a quantum fluctuation must occur near a black hole’s edge. When this happens, sometimes one particle will tunnel out before the annihilation can take place. Its partner immediately gets “spaghettified” by the black hole elongated as it plunges to the center.

Is there a way to get out of a black hole?

As a physical object, there is no way of getting out of a black hole. However, you can (and eventually will, given enough time) exit the black hole as radiation from the black hole. The radiation is produced by quantum mechanical aberrations at the event horizon of the black hole.

Can you survive in a black hole?

Regardless of the explanation, we do know that it is highly unlikely that anyone entering a black hole would survive. Nothing escapes a black hole. Any trip into a black hole would be one way. The gravity is too strong and you could not go back in space and time to return home.
