Ever since I was young I've been obsessed with black holes. As a teenager, I'd lie awake in my bed at night and imagine what it would feel like to enter one

Same. Oh, sorry you meant a black hole in space. I was talking about something else...

Honestly from what I have read it would feel like nothing nothing the time dilation would be so strong. You would die of starvation before you entered it or felt the effects of it. That is if you had enough oxygen to begin with.

No. The idea of spaghettification kinda pisses me off because it doesn't matter.

You would die from being atomized by the heat of the accretion disk before you ever felt "spaghettification".

And even if you did live long enough to get to that point, to you, it would be an instant death as the atoms and molecules of your body are ripped apart by a force strong enough to prevent light from escaping.

You wouldn't feel anything because you'd be ripped apart at an atomic level so quickly that your brain couldn't possibly perceive any information.

To an outside observer they'd see you hit a certain point and then stand still while slowly turning red. To you, you'd be there one instant and then atomically shredded the next.

Anyone got a space ship to the nearest black hole? I got a thing...

We already have a black hole at home.

Black home at home: dig a hole very deep until sunlight can no longer reach the bottom of it
