Simple (?) question about black holes

316 views

If I go to the event horizon, I get spaghettified right? How does that not mean I am being spaghettified (ever so slightly) right now?

No, the event horizon is the sphere (roughly) of darkness from which nothing can escape the black holes’ gravity, not even light.

The closer you get to a gravity source the stronger an object will feel the pull. If the difference between the pull on your legs and your head is great enough you will be ‘spegitified’. The distance this would occur at is different for each black hole and not the same as the event horizon distance.
