Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson at The Richmond Forum - What happens if you fall into a Black Hole?

A clip from Dr. Tyson's November 14, 2009 appearance before a sold-out audience at The Richmond Forum in Richmond, Virginia. Did you know there's a name for what happens to your body when you fall into a Black Hole?

@Tulljfette Time doesn't actually stop inside of a black hole. Light just escapes more and more slowly due to the force of gravity increasing as you get closer, until light stops travelling or is pulled into the blackhole (hence the black part of it, no light). So to an outside observer it would appear as if you were travelling slower and slower until you disappeared. But from your own relative perspective, time is continuing as normal (though time would appear slower at your feet).

@Tulljfette even if you weren't dead, time stops so only the existence of particles is absolutely permanent. You would still exist there, except even your brain wouldnt work

They now say that if you get decapitated you are still conscious and can see for up to 25 seconds !!! Now if that isn't freaky i dont know what is !

@kickflipinyaface Not until you'll already dead i presume. Time stops in the middle of the black hole.

This is way to satirical. =/ I wanna learn about science and black holes not comedy.
