Quote from: Newkirk on May 08, 2013, 10:13:40 pmOne thing I keep wondering Parsons is... exactly how would you die in a black hole? My guess is since it's a vacuum you turn to some kind of weird mush or something.I'm glad you asked Newkirk. To answer that question let's describe the experiences of a theoretical Newkirk as he begins his journey into a black hole. He begins far enough away from the black hole such that he is in no real danger at the moment. As he draws nearer to the hole, gradually, a larger and larger field of his view is consumed by perfect darkness, light that cannot escape the black hole does not reach his eyes. Looking behind the black hole, seeing galaxies light years away, these galaxies appear warped and distorted. they bend and twist around the hole itself as light is bent around one side of the singularity and to the other. At this point, if Newkirk looks to the side he will see the back of his own head as the light is bent around the circumference of the sphere back to Newkirk's eyes, never coming close enough to the point of no return to be drawn in. Conrad Parsons also observes Newkirk's approach but unlike Newkirk, he's smart enough to not jump into black holes. To Parsons, since time and space are relative to each other and the space is being warped around the hole, so too is time. To Parson's, Newkirk's descent into to the hole begins normally, but becomes slower and slower. Once Newkirk reaches the point of no return, the point where the gravitational pull is so great not even light can escape, he stops. The light off Newkirk's body from the later part of his journey never leaving the hole. To Parsons, Newkirk's body would stop, and become increasingly red-shifted until the image simply fades away. Back to Newkirk's point of view: nothing out of the ordinary happens as he crosses the point of no return. His entire view of the universe becomes progressively compressed into a sphere behind him, kinda like if he was clipping out of the universe. Newkirk is still hours away from the point where he will come to any actual harm though. Once he does though, as Newkirk draws closer to the center of the hole, the rate at which the gravitational force increases with proximity to the center of the whole increases. Meaning the closer he gets, the more strongly his feet feel the gravity compared to his head. This will stretch his body, slowly at first but exponentially faster over time in a process know as spaghettification. Newkirk's molecules would be violently ripped apart from each other at this point and he would, will die. All of his parts would be separated from all of his other parts. Now at this point we're kind of sketchy on what happens to his molecules once they reach the center of the black hole but one of the leading theories (and my personal favorite) is that due to the distortion of space caused by the massive gravity of the hole they are deposited in a random spot in the universe due to a wormhole effect.
