dystopia

What would happen if you fell into a black hole? Well, put simply you would die after being sucked into a black hole. Your body would be shredded into the smallest possible pieces. It would definitely be a pretty gruesome experience.  

What is a black hole? Well, a black hole is a place in space where the force of gravity is so powerful that you would need to be traveling faster than the speed of light to escape its pull. Since nothing is known to travel faster than the speed of light, nothing that falls into a black hole can ever escape. The border at which the gravity becomes strong enough to create the phenomenon is known as the “event horizon”. The event horizon marks the outer boundary of the black hole. The closer you get to the center of the black hole, the stronger the pull of gravity. 

If you were caught by the pull of a black hole, you would be sent into free fall toward its center. The pulling force would increase as you moved toward the center, creating what’s called a “tidal force” on your body. Your body would be stretched until it snapped apart, first at its weakest point and then disintegrating rapidly from there as the tidal force became stronger than the chemical bonds holding your body together. You’d be reduced to a bunch of disconnected atoms. Those atoms would then be stretched into a line. The more matter and people that a black hole took in, the bigger it would get. As the black hole would increase in size that would affect its gravitational force and the force inside the hole would become less dramatic the larger it became.
