What If You Fell Into a Black Hole?

What would the outcome be if you took a leap of faith straight into a black hole? We looked to Einstein and Hawking to ponder the scenario.

Say one day you were exploring space looking for a new planet for humans to inhabit, but came across a black hole and decided – why not check it out? Would you have any chance of survival? How would you get out if at all? Would you find a shortcut to another universe? Watch the video to learn about what would happen if you fell into a black hole.

About What If: Produced by Underknown in Toronto, Canada, What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

People in black hole: What if you fell into an earth

The fact that humans were actually able to figure all this out, about something we still know *very* little about is absolutely incredible.

In my opinion there is nothing as terrifying as a black hole. The pure energy and force, to even consume stars is just unbelievable. The worst part: they are everywhere and NOTHING can stop them. They are the strongest force in the knows Universe.

It's really funny how he's talking about the black hole like it's around the corner of my house

I'm interested in watching space videos such as Black Hole. Watching these kinds of space videos makes me feel overwhelmed. This is because, by watching these videos, I can see how vast the space is and how small humans are. As a result, when I watched this video, I felt that the problems of the reality were small. In addition, my curiosity about Black Hole increased, and I became eager to continue studying them in the future.

black holes are THE MOST mind boggling thing ever hands down

Me: * eats chip as I sunk into the couch * Go on.

Yeah, I think I’ll take staying on Earth safe & sound! I can’t begin to imagine being in a black hole & possibly either being stuck in an alternate dimension or ceasing to exist entirely!

Man this channel is so interesting I love this ❤

That moment when you realise that if Steven Hawking liven 1 more year he could have seen the black hole

[loveistheanswer]

The coolest thing is that for a witness outside the black hole they never would see a human gets completely sucked in but for the human he would be sucked in. Really mind blowing. 😳

"Say one day you were exploring space."

Ah, yes. As you normally do every other fine morning.
