How does it feel to get sucked into a black hole?

I mean you get stretched and stuff but that's all I really know

There are a lot of earth and water so it'd prob feel good.

It's called "spagettification" (seriously).

As you get closer to a black hole the gravity potential becomes so high that your feet are experiencing a much higher gravity than your head (assuming you're going in feet first), so they get pulled in harder than your head does. The further in you go, the greater the differential pull of gravity on your body and you get stretched into "spaghetti".

Of course, you'd be dead long before that happened, so it pretty much wouldn't matter to you by then.

Stretched? no. Black holes are so dense, they pretty much condense you until you disintegrate.

Read: "Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries" by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
It'll explain everything and it's funny as hell while it's explaining.

It's undoubtedly in your library.

How does it feel? It'd probably suck.

Why don't you ask someone who's been into a black hole?

speghettification I'm guessing it's not very fun. You get stretched out
Black holes are very strange. Anything can become a blackhole if compressed into a small enough space.
at a certain point, people watching you see you stop moving. while for you, you feel like your still moving through.
WATCH VSAUCE ON YOTUBE VERY EDUCATIONAL. WATCH HIS BLACKHOLE EPISODE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.

I don't think you'd feel it. From what I remember in science class, you get stretched fast and instantly.

I don't doubt the experience would be pleasant being disintegrated into simpler pieces.
