I imagine it's similar to having your upper-torso tied to a pole and your lower-torso tied to a car, meanwhile the universe rapidly ages into an ever-shrinking sphere behind you. It sounds nightmarishly painful--physically and existentially
- mhh__ 6y agoGreat way to go though. An experience you literally cannot describe
- goldenkey 6y agoI'd presume death to be like that anyhow given the flurry of brain activity directly during and in the nights/dreams leading up to death.

- Cthulhu_ 6y agoIt should remain the same in your "local" experience.
- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoAh well that does make me feel better somewhat.
- contravariant 6y agoIf it's a big enough black hole then you'd only see the ageing universe shrink behind you. The spaghettification comes later.
- wcoenen 6y agoI imagine the tidal forces would not just feel like you're being stretched, but it would also feel like you're hanging upside-down. And this would be independent of whether your head is pointing towards the black hole or away from it; basically your feet and head are trying to "fall" away from each other.
- saagarjha 6y agoFor a supermassive black hole the gravity gradient shouldn’t be all the bad until you’re way past the event horizon. Perhaps it might even be pleasant?
- bicolao 6y agoKurzgesagt channel gives two choices beyond event horizon. Speculation of course. https://youtu.be/e-P5IFTqB98?t=150 https://youtu.be/e-P5IFTqB98?t=150
