Past the event horizon of a black hole there is no escape. The reason for this is more complicated than "a black holes gravity is simply too great". This is certainly true, but the effect of such a large mass is to warp space-time so completely that, once past the event horizon, there is literally no path you can take that leads away from the black hole. No matter what direction you point it will appear that you are pointing toward the singularity.

This, in fact, is the definition of the event horizon: past it there literally is no path that leads you back out again.

Who was the first person to go to a black hole?

No person has ever gone to a black hole. Black holes are extremely dense and have gravitational forces so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape them. It is physically impossible for a human to survive a journey to a black hole.


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.


Can a space ship go through a black hole without crashing?

No, based on our current understanding of physics, a spacecraft would not survive traveling through a black hole. The intense gravitational forces would stretch and compress the spacecraft to the point of destruction.


Could you survive in a rocket going into a black hole?

No, it is unlikely that you would survive going into a black hole in a rocket. The immense gravitational forces near a black hole would tear apart any physical object, including a rocket, due to a process called spaghettification. Additionally, the extreme conditions near a black hole, such as high temperatures and tidal forces, would make survival impossible.


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.

No, it is not possible for anything to survive a black hole due to its intense gravitational pull that even light cannot escape from.


What could you do to escape the black hole?

You can't - that's the whole idea of a black hole. Don't get near a black hole in the first place.


How many atoms are there in a black hole?

Basically none. No atom will survive the forces in a black hole. (However, all the mass that falls into the black hole will still be there.)
