Is sucked off the right terminology? Anyway, the physicist on C4 News was explaining the spaghetti effect, or "spaghettification" as she called it, whereby the strength of the gravity would be so much greater on the end of your body closest to the event horizon than the other end that you'd be strung out into a line of molecules.
First image of a Black Hole has been taken.

-ahem- anyway, isn't it true that there comes a point where the particles making up the atoms of your body, would in the end be pulled one from another by the increasingly steep gravity curve as you ''fell into'' the black hole? It's what I've heard but I don't know if it's still current theorizing.
That's what the astro-scientist on C4 News was saying the other night: "spaghettification" (see post 31).

Research team discovers path to razor-sharp black hole images
Last April, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) sparked international excitement when it unveiled the first image of a black hole. Today, a team of researchers have published new calculations that predict a striking and intricate substructure within black hole images from extreme gravitational...
