Your Perception of Black Holes is *Probably* Wrong! #shorts

Many people are left with the impression that black holes are 2D disks or 3D spheres of infinitely dense void. While a black hole has the shape of a sphere, due to the extreme bending of light near its event horizon, we're actually able to see every single side of it, as the back side gets spread around the front like a ring, making the black hole seem much bigger than it is. This also helps create the effect of being "engulfed" when falling down a black hole. Also, a lil easter egg at the end :)

Could you show a picture of the earth being warped as if the earth was a black hole? What would the earth look like if you could see all sides at once?

Fun fact: if you were to enter a black hole, time dilation would cause you to see the entirety of the universe in an instant, while is you were to observe an object enter one, you would see it slow down until it reaches the event horizon and stop completely there,
