fun fact, a black hole is not a portal to nothingness, its actually the opposite its a SUPER condensed collection of matter that’s gravity is so strong that even light cant escape it

So if you are sucked in whole where do you go? I do get you would already die being in space without a space suit but if you had one what could you see exactly?

you would get sucked into the super condensed “block” of matter! imagine a floating marble thats super tiny and that’s matter is super insanely condensed. you’d become part of that marble. so when a black hole sucks up a star it becomes bigger because the star’s mass gets added to that “marble”

but interestingly, from a human perspective you wouldnt really notice a difference (besides the literal crushing/collapsing of you atoms), if you could see then you might notice parallel lines crossing and light performing weirdly, but thats it! also, time is heavily affected by gravitational pull. gravity is an effect in the space/time planes not really a thing in and of itself. (im high rn so stick with me here) but to imagine it best we gotta take everything down a dimension. so imagine a

So just crushed?

flat peice of paper floating in space (this represents our 3rd dimension plane) and a rock is placed on it. the rock bends/indents the paper. now imagine a 2d being traveling in the dimension of that paper (us). as it nears the rock, its dimension dips “downwards”/ into a new dimension. in the example’s case, it dips into the third dimension (up/down) but for us we dont rlly know what our reality “dips into” but this is what’s happening when great bodies of mass (or super condensed tiny bodies)

affect our 3rd dimensional plane and create the effect we call gravity. what we observe is really just math behaving strangely. we observe parallel lines start crossing, objects changing their direction of momentum, and time start slowing. gravity doesnt just pull things toward eachother, it bends the dimensions we live in both physically and temporally

yes a person would definelty die in a black hole but not by being crushed like you’d imagine at a deep sea level with high pressure from all sides. its more like the gravity would pull apart the nucleus of your atoms and separate you into primordial goo essentially. like fundamental particles
