Question:

What would happen if you fell in a black hole?

lol. This is just a theoretical question... assuming I could survive, what would I experience? Like timespace gets bent in a blackhole so would the fact that timespace is being stretched to infinity make the universe around me seem to have time moving so much faster?

  1. Like if I was walking along and tripped?


  2. maybe you had better watch out where you are going.

  3. I once asked this to my science teacher, and he said that time would slow down--a lot.  Then you would be demoleculized (whether or not this is painful i don't know) and at that point you would most likely die.  If i were you, I'd avoid being sucked into a black hole

  4. you would be converted into another form of energy.  

  5. You would rather quickly be squeezed to the point where your brain would no longer function and you would die. Your body would subsequently be compressed until all its particles had collapsed into each other and been destroyed by the pressure, whereupon your mass would simply be added to the mass of the black hole (which would already be at least several times the mass of the Sun).

    If, somehow, you could survive the process of being squeezed into degenerate matter, you would get to see a rather strange sight. Time slows down in the presence of enormous gravity fields, so you would effectively be in a sort of stasis field, only the field would smoothly increase in strength as you approached the center of the black hole and the black hole itself collapsed farther. Your view would be distorted as light was curved into the black hole, but let's assume you could correct for that effect and continue to see normally. The light from interstellar objects would become brighter and brighter, due to the objects having emitted more light in the equivalent timespan you would experience; for example, at the point where the time dilation reached 10^-3 (one thousandth), objects would appear a thousand times as bright as normal. When you reached 10^-6, they would be a million times brighter, meaning that most nearby stars (which on Earth would be just points of light in the sky) would each be brighter than the Sun. At 10^-9, just about every star in the Milky Way Galaxy would appear brighter than the Sun; this light would of course fry you in a fraction of a second, but we're assuming you can survive the whole process.

    As the time dilation approached 10^-12 (one trillionth), you would start seeing another phenomenon: The movements of stellar objects would become fast enough, relatively, for you to see them occur with your eyes, so you would actually get to see galaxies rotating and floating through space, and stars coming into existence and dying in as short as an hour for you. Shortly afterwards, you would get to see stars come into existence, burn and die all in a few minutes. Although it would be nice to see it happen many times a second, creating a twinkling of star creation and novas in the galaxy, this would be unlikely to happen, because enough stellar cycles would have occurred by that time that star formation would already have ceased in the Universe.

    By this time, you would also see galaxies racing farther away from you as the Universe expanded. Only relatively close galaxies would be gravitationally bound and would remain in view. The stars would slowly dim, and by now would be moving around so fast that galactic rotation would become a blur across the sky. Even stars that had 'gone out' and become black dwarfs would still create bright lines of motion in the sky, due to the light effects mentioned above. Eventually all the dead stars and planets would be drawn into black holes like your own, causing the galaxy to go dark, although the residual light from distant parts of the Universe would still make the sky appear bright. Finally, as the time dilation reached somewhere between 10^-60 and 10^-110 or thereabouts, your own black hole would finally evaporate and explode due to Hawking radiation.

  6.   If a black hole could exist and you fell into one you would be crushed out of existence.

  7. Although no one knows for absolute certain, you basically would cease to exist.  Nothing survives in a black hole; not even light.  

  8. Depending on the size of the black hole, you'd probably be ripped apart as you fell, finally having your atoms compressed into the mass that makes the black hole.  

  9. Tidal forces would tear you to pieces.

  10. When you go near the black hole, time moves slower around you, so you can see the future ahead of you.  Once you go pass the event horizon, there is no coming out.  

  11. just making this clear, a black hole is not a hole at all...it's a star that has collapsed

    and you'd be dead long before you actually reached it


  12. im sure that u would get torn into 80 billion pieces. but, if u did survive, no, time would not b goin faster. a blacc hole actually slows rime down.

  13. you would probably disintegrate with every atom of your being ripped to peices within a split second.

  14. you swim your way back out
