Warning if encountering a black hole

A black hole formed in the final stage of a super-big star's life. It was dark, giant, sucking all the surrounding material and nothing could escape. The boundary of the black hole, where even the light will be trapped inside it is called the 'event horizon' . All information we know and observe is limited to this boundary.

What happens if you touch a black hole?

Any mystery attracts human imagination and enchants our brain. And black holes are one of those mysteries. That's why it always appears in novels, on fictional movies and sometimes in your dreams. However, if you've dreamed of a black hole, specifically when you touch it, dream a scientific dream.

A terrible death

Do you think that just going through the 'event horizon' is going to get in there, safely and to another world? Perhaps you are a very romantic person. In fact, if someone watches from behind, as soon as you touch the 'event horizon', they will see your whole body stretched and sucked into it. This looks like you are stretched and your body is made of plastic.

"Pasta" effect.

The black hole with its super-large material density will bend the surrounding space-time violently. That's why the people behind the observation will see you deform, slowly and gradually until your image stretches inside. This effect is called a "spaghettification" translated as "pasta".

Not romantic at all, you will eventually be completely erased by the radiation emitted from the black hole. It was a really terrible death.

Your true destiny

The dream may be a bit more romantic if you choose a super giant black hole. It was a black hole whose 'event horizon' was quite far from its center. In this case, to make the dream more interesting than a terrible death look at it at your observation point. There is no way you will be stretched out and there is no radiation death if you keep yourself outside the 'event horizon'.

If you do this, you may have a happy life there while everyone on Earth is dead. This happens because the time near the black hole is much slower than in places far from it . You will fly around the 'event horizon' in an Earth-like orbit around the Sun. And remember that this only happens when you choose a supermassive black hole and stand outside it.

If you encounter a black hole, it's best to avoid it.

In the case of a smaller black hole, or you go deep into a supermassive black hole, the dream will become terrible again. Your feet start to suffer a much larger attraction than the head and the old scenario returns. You will almost be ripped apart.

Finally, it is best to stay away from black holes and leave them there . As a warning on the adventure program, we do not encourage you to try this at home. However, it must be said that these perspectives are built by the theory of modern physics. Your true fate if you fall into a black hole is still a mystery.
