Best Answer

You would not; you wouldn't survive the tidal forces as you came near the black hole. Your atoms would fall into the event horizon, but your molecules would be destroyed before then.

How long is a day on a black hole?

I don't think you could talk about a "day" on a black hole - for a start, nobody could survive in a black hole, to observe such a day. But if you refer to the rotation, one black hole has been observed that seems to spin over a thousand times per second. This rotation, of course, can be different for other black holes.


How long will a black hole live?

That depends a lot on the mass of the black hole. The smaller black holes will evaporate more quickly. A stellar black hole (a few times the mass of the Sun) is expected to live approximately 1066 years, while a supermassive black hole might survive something like 10100 years before evaporating completely.


Can you sleep in a black hole?

No. The gravitational forces are so great that your body would be ripped apart long before you actually entered the black hole.


If the sun becomes a black hole will you live?

No. You will not be swallowed by the black hole but you still would not survive for very long. If the sun become a black hole it would retain the same mass, so the orbits of the planets would remain the same. It is only within the former radius of the sun that gravity would be unusually strong. The problem is that the new black hole sun would no longer give off any heat or light. No light means no photosynthesis; the plants we depend on for food would die. No heat means Earth would freeze, eventually becoming colder than Pluto. You have nothing to worry about in this regard, though, because the sun is nowhere near massive enough to create a black hole.


What would happen if you jumped into a Kerr black hole?

If you jumped into an "ordinary" Schwarzschild black hole, you would be crushed into a long line of particles, which means death by a black hole. If you jumped into a Kerr black hole, the same process may occur, but the only thing different is that a Kerr black hole spins, and a Schwarzschild black hole does not. That answer needs a bit more detail. Please use the "related link" below.


What would traveling in a black hole be like?

Travelling into a black hole would be like an excruciating long death by torture, as the extreme gravitational forces compact and decompose the order of your mass.


Can you enter a black hole?

IF you had a very fast spaceship, it would be possible to fly it toward the black hole - but the spaceship AND YOU would be destroyed long before the molecular goo of your body entered the black hole. So, no. You can't get there, and you wouldn't want to even if you could.


What happends if humans enter a black hole?

They would die long before they reached it. The vicinity of a black hole is not a healthy place to be for a wide variety of reasons.


What happens at the edge of a black hole?

You are referring to the "event horizon" of a black hole. At this point, nothing, not even light, can escape the gravity of the singularity (or black hole). If you were so unlucky to be there, your body would be stretched from the part that is closest to the black hole. Eventually, your body would be one long string of atoms swirling into the black hole. This is called "spaghettification" and is an actual scientific term.


How do people get sucked into a black hole?

No human has ever come near a black hole. If one did, the intense gravitational pull of the black hole would pull them in and tear them to atoms, long before they reached the event horizon.


What will happen in TIME if you stay too long beside a black hole?

Scientists cannot be certain, as we have yet to experiment with a black hole, but they theorize that time would slow down relative to time far from the black hole.


Could you survive in a black hole?

Crossing the event horizon of a black hole would be absolutely possible if the hole was large enough not to have significant tidal force which tends to "spaghettify" any object approaching a smaller black hole. The more massive the black hole, the gentler the tidal force; for a smaller one, tidal force would stretch a person beyond hope of survival. Of course, this presumes the astronaut in question would have avoided the intense heat of any accretion disk, hazards of other infalling matter, intense radiation of relativistic-speed polar jets, etc. Subjectively, it's been suggested that a person falling into a large black hole may not even be aware they've crossed the event horizon.
