We humans, from the time unknown, have been fascinated by the stars shimmering in the caliginosity of the night's sky. Fascinated, enthralled and curious as we humans are, that is also the reason for all the progress we witnessed as a species.
Black Holes are one such object of curiosity. Their existence was first predicted by Albert Einstein and later named by John Wheeler. They are known to suck anything that we could think of by their gravity, yes, even light! Well, technically, they don't suck. Suction is caused by pulling something into a vacuum, which the black holes are definitely not. Instead, objects fall into them just as they fall toward anything that exerts gravity, like the Earth.
Have you ever wondered what will happen when we fall into a black hole? What kinds of things will we see? I have, too!
And the answer to that is we will probably die... or maybe not?
Since even a photon of light, the fastest particle in the universe, cannot resist into traction. And especially since we are ordinary humans made up of ordinary particles, we also cannot resist its mighty lure.
Every black hole has an Event Horizon, the point at which gravitation pull becomes so strong that nothing can escape from it, the point of no return.
If you found yourself there, you will be moving faster and faster towards the black hole. If you fell feet first, your legs would be feeling a stronger gravitational pull than your head. That difference in that pull is so wide that your body would be stretched apart! Interestingly enough, this phenomenon is called Spaghettification. As for what you might see,(Let's assume you are somehow alive.) well, for a long time maybe nothing. But when you reach further closer inside the black hole, maybe you can even see the whole beginning and the end of the universe. Why? Because around massive bodies, time slows down. And around black holes, it's also said to be stopped! So, alongside you, are also the photons that are stuck there from the past, at the beginning of the universe, and also those that might come in future, at the end of it.
At present not much is known about black holes. But thanks to the efforts of scientists, we have witnessed the first image of a black hole and its shadow. Maybe in the far future, we get to know more about them. Maybe we also get to marvel at it from up close. Be sure to not get that close or otherwise, spaghetti~ ;)
