Falling in a black hole is a different experience. It must be more like being squeezed in a narrow tube with a glowing light that was once the universe on one end of the tube and something indescribable on the other end. Perception of time will change too, as all the particles that let us perceive the time will be messed up in strange ways. Perhaps time will seem multidimensional or there will be many timelines. In other words, your perception of a fall from an aeroplane isn't true or absolute, it's mediated by particles that define, for you, space and time, and if those particles get messed up, your reality will change completely.

- denton-scratch 3y agoI think the "tube" business concerns what you see a you approach the speed of light. All the light/future events are in front of you, and you see nothing if you stand on the stern of your ship. I'm not sure how that relates to falling into a BH, bit I don't know; there's a lot of this that I'm struggling to understand. I'm not a physicist, and not clever, just very interested.
