  Spaghettification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astrophysics, the process of spaghettification is the stretching of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) as they approach the gravitational singularity of a fl hole.
The word spaghettification comes from an example given by Stephen Hawking in his book A Brief History of Time, wherein he describes the plight of a fictional astronaut who, passing within a fl hole's event horizon, is "stretched like spaghetti" by the gravitational gradient from head to toe.
Spaghettification is caused by the differences in gravitational forces acting on the four objects.

Similarly, Spaghettification Flip Book, from the Adler Planetarium, also provides a different context in which students can reinforce and/or demonstrate their ideas about fl holes.
Spaghettification is the stretching of objects that fall into a fl hole.
In this activity, students make a spaghettification flip book that will demonstrate how the strong gravitational pull of a fl hole would stretch any astronaut unlucky enough to encounter one in space.

Cosmology Curiosity: Spaghettification, Hawking, and the intrepid astronaut
Spaghettification is the stretching into long thin strands of objects as they approach the fl hole's singularity.
Such stretching is caused by extreme tidal forces of the fl hole.

No person has ever been close enough to a fl hole to actually fall into one, but if a person ever got close enough, their body would stretch out as they were pulled into the fl hole.
In this activity you will make a spaghettification flip book that will demonstrate how the strong gravitational pull of a fl hole would stretch any astronaut unlucky enough to encounter one in space.
It is called spaghettification because small objects will grow long and stringy like spaghetti as they are pulled into the fl hole.

 Music: Bomb Squad (The Boston Phoenix . 04-20-98)
On their Ninja Tune debut, Spaghettification, Chocolate Weasel digitally process the Cold War paranoia of the '50s through corny '70s funk using modern sound-editing technology.
The difference lies in speed: drum 'n' bass is based on reggae and hip-hop rhythm tracks, which are so drastically accelerated that the groove is often eliminated.
And perhaps that point should be extended to cover the whole of the turntablist's art: sonic monopolies are impossible in a realm where tracks are built from pre-existing fragments of other artist's music, where the process of sampling has all but eliminated the concept of the "song" as a discrete recorded text.

 Roating vs. spaghettification
This article suggests that in a sufficiently large fl hole, the tidal force are not significant at the scale of a human's height.
So you would supposedly actually be able to witness the cosmos work backward for a while (if I remember correctly), rather than being too preoccupied with the pain of spaghettification to enjoy the view.
Though maybe the heat of the plasma would still get you before you could appreciate the scenery.

 Scientists think you'd be "roasted" in a black hole
Most scientists believe they exist, although many of their theories break down under the extreme conditions within.
But for a supermassive fl hole weighing millions or billions of suns, explains Professor Hamilton, the tidal forces which cause spaghettification are relatively weak.
You would instead be roasted by the heat of the plasma.

 Indiadaily.com - How do extraterrestrial UFOs cross the blackhole point of singularity to visit our physical universe ...
Nearing the singularity, the gradient of the gravitational field from head to foot will become considerable, will stretch and tear because of tidal forces: the parts closest to the singularity feel disproportionately stronger gravitational force than those parts farther away.
The biggest trick is in being able to generate negative gravity in the beginning and then quickly but smoothly shift to positive gravity wave at the center of the Blackhole.
But if the object’s computer model smoothly varies the gravity wave neutralization effects, it will have no problem crossing through the point of singularity.
