What is spaghettification?
Spaghettification is a term used to describe the process by which an object is stretched and elongated into thin, noodle-like shapes due to tidal forces in a strong gravitational field. This phenomenon commonly occurs near black holes, where the intense gravitational pull causes objects to be stretched as they approach the event horizon.
What American physicist pioneered the theory of black holes in 1939?
John Archibald Wheeler is the American physicist who pioneered the theory of black holes in 1939. He coined the term "black hole" in 1967 and made significant contributions to our understanding of these phenomena.
Are black holes terrestrial or gas planets or something else?
Black holes are black holes - they are totally different from anything else in the universe. Most black holes are formed from the collapsed cores of dead stars. There are supermassive black holes in most galaxies, but it is no known how they formed.
Who first coined the term black hole?
The term "Black hole" first appeared in print in an article by Ann Ewing in "Black Holes in Space" published in 1964 after a meeting of a group of scientists. John Wheeler often gets credit because he used the term in a lecture in 1967, because of which the phrase entered widespread use.
What is it called when something goes near a black hole?
Spaghettification. This is when an object goes near a massive body such as a black hole gets pulled apart. See the links below. (Humor aside, there really isn't a specific term for such an event, other than "going near a black hole.")

What will happen when you get too close to a black hole?
You die. You will be turned into spaghetti. Spaghettification is a real term used to describe it. And it would not be at all as funny as it sounds.
Is spaghettification a painful process?
Spaghettification is a term used to describe the stretching and elongation of an object as it gets closer to a black hole due to the extreme gravitational forces. While the process itself is not painful, it would likely be fatal due to the intense gravitational forces involved.
What do scientists call it when the black hole sucks in things?
There is no scientific term apart from giving in to the extreme gravity near the black hole. Sometimes the funny term spaghettification is used to describe the not so funny reality that objects near a black hole or within the event horizon of a massive black hole would be stretched by tidal forces into a longer and thinner length of matter until the molecules and atoms themselves are separated. A more or less effective visual description of the fate of matter consumed by black holes.
Were did black holes get there name?
The term "Black hole" first appeared in print in an article by Ann Ewing in "Black Holes in Space" published in 1964.
Would spaghettification hurt if you were subjected to it?
Spaghettification is a term used to describe the stretching and elongation of an object, like a person, when it falls into a black hole due to the extreme gravitational forces. The process would likely be very painful as the intense gravitational forces would stretch and tear apart the person's body.
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.
Can dark holes transfer things from one place to another?
No. And the term is "black hole," not "dark hole."

Are white holes white or black?
Not much is really known about white holes... including the question whether they exist, or even can exist. The term "white" hole has simply been used in comparison with a "black hole", which is in some ways the opposite.

Black holes are black holes - they are totally different from anything else in the universe. Most black holes are formed from the collapsed cores of dead stars. There are supermassive black holes in most galaxies, but it is no known how they formed.
What has the same mass as a black hole?
A lot of things, actually. The term 'black hole' is applied to an object whose gravitation pull is sufficiently great to prevent light from escaping. Because the magnitude of the gravitational force that one body exerts upon another is, partly, a function of the distance separating the two bodies, black holes can exist at a variety of sizes. There is, for example, a class of black holes known as 'Micro black holes.' These are objects with a radius smaller than 0.1mm (or 100 micrometers, hence the name), with a mass up to that of the Moon. Another class of black holes, called 'Stellar black holes', can have a mass up to that of the Sun, and a radius of up to 30km.
