If you fell into a black hole, what would happen?

Did you ever wonder what would happen if you fell into a black hole? That is the big question. But, the outcome does not seem good; no matter what kind of black hole you choose.

But first, what is a black hole? It is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. When a massive star collapses under its gravity at the end of its life cycle, it forms a black hole.

If you bravely jumped into a black hole with the mass of a star, your body would go through a process called “spaghettification.” The gravity of a black hole would squeeze and stretch you from head to toe like spaghetti at the same time. 

However, the severity of each black hole is not essentially horrific, depending upon its nature. Since the effects of a supermassive black hole are not as bad as small black holes. Let’s suppose you have voluntarily chosen to fall into a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. 

Sagittarius A* is called Sagittarius A-star and written as Sgr A*. It is a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. It is believed to be 44 million km across and has 4.31 million solar masses. Two scientists, Bruce Balick and Robert L. Brown, discovered it in 1974. However, it had no name until 1982.

If you fell into a supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, you would cross the event horizon, which is also the “point of no return.” You would see from inside what was outside, but no one would see you because light would bounce back on you.

Fortunately, you won’t become spaghetti due to less tidal force than that of tiny black holes compared to small black holes. However, supermassive black holes would have a strong gravitational attraction, so you would not escape it.

However, you would escape it once the black hole changes into a white hole. The black hole draws in objects while the white hole expels them. The estimated time for changing the process from a black hole to a white hole would take billions of years. 

Although this time-lengthening process would be speeding up for you due to its strong gravitational pull inside of it. So, this would end in a few milliseconds. 

Although, it is significant to note that all the information in this article is only a hypothetical theory at present.
