NASA: An impressive simulation shows what it would be like if we fell into a black hole

You’ve probably heard at least once in your life that being swallowed by a black hole in the universe is one of the most painful and excruciating deaths.

What is certain is that we still have a lot to learn about it, considering that the first image taken from such a crater was only five years ago.

You must have wondered what it would be like to be trapped inside one of them, what you would see and how you would feel. NASA thought about it first and made sure – with the help of technology, of course – to build a very detailed simulation.

The video was posted yesterday (5/7) on YouTube. According to Lad Bible, the creation took just 5 days using NASA’s Discover supercomputer located at NASA’s Climate Simulation Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

In the video, we are approaching a massive black hole with a mass 4.3 million times the mass of our Sun

It is worth noting that an ordinary laptop would take more than 10 years to create the simulation, as it would have to process more than 10 terabytes of data.

“Spaghetti”

The black hole’s gravity will become so strong that we will experience something called ‘spaghetti’, said Professor of Physics at the University of Sussex, Xavier Calmette.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘Your body will stretch into a shape similar to the famous long and narrow pasta shape, until it is pulled apart by the strong force of gravity.’

At the beginning of the video, we zoom in on the void and see the bright orange “accretion disk,” a hot disk of gas orbiting the black hole, acting as its main light source.

It consists of various materials that emit energy when they fall into the black hole, whether it is gas, dust, or matter. A proton ball, a thin ring of light forming near the black hole’s event horizon, can also be seen.

When we enter a black hole, we begin to spin, while all the light around us appears to bend.

NASA says the video is extremely fast, reacting at about 60% of the speed of light to show the process in just one minute — with a perspective that represents an astronaut’s perspective, if humans ever reached a black hole.
