What is spaghettification? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice give us the step-by-step on what it’s like to fall into a black hole, in all its gory detail.
What happens when you fall into a black hole? We explore tidal forces and the difference in gravity between your head and your feet. What happens when the tidal forces keep getting greater and greater? Is a black hole actually like a medieval torture device? Finally, find out what it's like to get extruded through the fabric of spacetime. Plus, some of Neil’s poetry. Soup’s up: It’s cosmic spaghetti time!
