There’s a theory that we already are. That our entire universe is a singularity.
What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole?

You would be surprised…

Black holes don’t just roam around looking for planets to snack on.
Don’t be so sure. There’s plenty of cases of black holes devouring entire star systems. There’s so many black holes just drifting around that you could make a case that they are just roaming around looking for their next snack.

Don’t tempt a black hole into coming down here

It will be a fucking improvement.
Libra@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
It would suck for a while. Then it wouldn’t.
RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 1 month ago
it would all be torn apart in a process that’s called the spaghettification

Mm, spaghetti…

bad things probably
we’d probably die

We all die.

If it were* sucked

Thanks, fixed.

If you’re really interested in this stuff I highly recommend reading “black holes and time warps” by now Nobel prize winner kip thorne

Essentially, it wouldn’t really matter what happens at that point. 🤷🏻♂️

It becomes part of the black hole. Then it will be very slowly evaporated.

The universe would be a better place

We’d suffocate and then be crushed.
OwlPaste@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Most likely is that we would die eay before anything would happen from radiation, intense magnetic fields and black hole gravity fucking up with all sorts of asteriods in orbit. Not expecting anyone to survive long enough to get anywhere near the black hole in reality
redditigon@lemm.ee 1 month ago
It seems it’s already in one, it’s so dark all around other than the sun.

We don’t know. Forces in and near black holes break physics. There is tons of speculation, but speculation is all there is.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 weeks ago
We literally took pictures of supermassive black holes, can see black holes eating stars, have the math figured out pretty well and we can see black hole collisions with gravitational wave detectors due to their rippling effect on the fabric of our space-time.

Nothing near a black hole breaks physics. And I’d argue that outside what the heck is singularity really breaks physics as we know it.
MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
We knew they existed before we found them, because of maths, andthe math actually gets us pretty far. It’s the singularity in the center, or past the event horizon that we can’t know about, because reality is shy like that. It boggles my mind that we were able to look around and say “hey guys, I’ve been measuring stuff, like how fast things fall down, and well, you’re not gonna believe this.”
Lasherz12@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Depends on how big the black hole is. Small, and we’ll be ripped to shreds before the event horizon. Big and we’ll be immortalized in an ever-shrinking amount of red shifting photons from the external perspective. From an internal perspective we’ll also be ripped to shreds tho.

If you press the universal terminal button, type in the command for spawning a black hole, set the mass to 1 kg, you get something very spicy. It’s so small, that it evaporates pretty much instantly, which means that all of that energy gets released as hawking radiation and the end result resembles an explosion.
TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
How explosive is the explosion of 1kg black hole?
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
I wouldn’t mind being spaghettified
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 weeks ago
I’d actually guess that we’d end up in an accretion disc first and would be ripped to shreds there due to all the other stuff in orbit and less from direct influence from the black hole itself.
Lasherz12@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
If it’s rotating, yes. All real black holes are, so you’ve got a point. The tidal force ripping happens in the accretion disk regardless, though. The spaghetti just forms nearly perpendicular to the hole instead of directly towards it.
rikudou@lemmings.world 5 weeks ago
If it’s very large and stationary, we could survive, couldn’t we?
Lasherz12@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
From my understanding, no. The center of a black hole is theorized to be smaller than the planck length at at least one “pinch” point. I believe you’re mistaking surviving the event horizon with surviving the entire journey to the splat zone. You’ll still be spaghett before the center. It’d be like hitting an impenetrable wall at the speed of light and coming to a complete stop, you’d more like a bunch of neutrinos by the time you get there I think.
