If you’re often sat there wondering what it would be like to fall into a black hole, then you’ve come to the right place.
While we aren’t here to judge you for thinking about death by black hole in your spare time, it is certainly a mind-boggling concept.
Even NASA categorises the quintillion black holes in space ‘among the most mysterious cosmic objects’ that are ‘not fully understood’.
“These objects aren’t really holes. They’re huge concentrations of matter packed into very tiny spaces,” the space agency explains.

“A black hole is so dense that gravity just beneath its surface, the event horizon, is strong enough that nothing – not even light – can escape.
“The event horizon isn’t a surface like earth’s or even the sun’s. It’s a boundary that contains all the matter that makes up the black hole.
“There is much we don’t know about black holes, like what matter looks like inside their event horizons.
“However, there is a lot that scientists do know about black holes.”
Here’s where YouTuber Zack D. Films comes in, the content creator who shares simulation videos of the most random and interesting s**t you can think of.

He’s made simulations of countless things, from how drinking too much water can kill you, and what that looks like, to a simulation of what happens to your brain when you die.
In one of his YouTube Shorts, the video-maker showed us what he thinks would happen if we fell into a black hole.
“If you fell into a black hole, the gravitational pull would stretch you out in a process called spaghettification,” he began.
“As you get closer, the gravity at your feet would be much stronger than at your head, pulling you longer and thinner.
“Eventually, you’d pass the event horizon. At this point, time would appear to slow down for an outside observer, but for you, time might seem to speed up.
“Finally, you’d be crushed by the immense gravity, merging with the singularity at the black hole centre, lost forever in its depths.”
As expected, the comments section was filled with horror, as one viewer wrote: “That’s the scariest human I’ve seen. Thanks to whoever volunteered to do this.”
“I think the scariest part of this is dying in a way that no other human had died before, making it the loneliest, unpredictable and most terrifying death ever,” another penned.
“Not sure whats scarier, the idea of becoming spaghetti or the human model used for this animation,” a third agreed.
