could
a black hole devour us all one day
there are millions of them out there just
just
waiting and if we happened to make
a black hole accidentally well
you better fasten your seat belts things
are really going to suck
literally what would we see
if we got pulled into a black hole
could earth orbit the sun and a black hole
hole
and would we survive spaghettification
this is what if and here's what would happen
happen
if earth were sucked into a black hole
just 3 000 light years from earth is
a black hole visible to the naked eye
thankfully we're a safe distance from
this stellar black hole and
many others like it there are approximately
approximately
100 million of them out there in our galaxy
galaxy
that we know of they are
remnants of supernovae which occur when
stars 10 to 20 times larger than
our sun collapse in on themselves
stellar black holes are fairly common
and are about
16 kilometers in diameter and then
there's the much larger competition
supermassive black holes these
have a diameter roughly the size of our
solar system
and a mass greater than one million
suns combined one of them
known as sagittarius a is right
smack dab in the middle of our galaxy
so how close would a black hole need to be
be
to be a danger to us well
technically a black hole the size of a
one millimeter pin
could destroy us if it was close enough
to earth
due to its incredibly dense mass and extreme
extreme
gravitational pull our survival all
depends on whether we've surpassed
the event horizon or not you can
think of this as the black hole's point
of no return
anything beyond this point would have to travel
travel
faster than light to escape yeah good
luck with that
if earth got close enough the side
nearest to the black hole would begin
stretching toward it
our atmosphere would start to be
vacuumed up and then
huge chunks of the earth would rip apart
and follow suit
if earth managed to fall into the orbit
of the black hole
we'd experience tidal heating the strong
uneven gravitational pull on earth would continuously
continuously
deform the planet this would generate a
tremendous amount of internal friction
heating the earth's core to disastrous levels
levels
it would likely give rise to earthquakes volcanoes
volcanoes
and deadly tsunamis the trifecta of doom
eventually earth would begin to stretch
in a process
known as spaghettification and
not in the tasty cheesy tomatoey way
let's say you were a superhero and
decided to fight the black hole headfirst
headfirst
well your arms would be closer than your feet
feet
causing your body to stretch out
vertically and become
more and more compressed let's hope your superpower
