Nasa’s New Black Hole Video Has Viewers Saying: “This Gave Me Anxiety.”
The great space race seems to be back in full swing.
It’s now SpaceX versus Blue Origin instead of American versus USA.
Even though we don’t know much about the universe, we are becoming more and more aware of how dangerous space may be.
In addition to taking us to the stars, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration continues to educate us along the route.
There are many terrifying simulations available, such as those that show what happens if you die in space, what space elevators would look like, and what it would be like to pass away on every planet.
A interesting simulation of what would happen if you were dragged into a black hole has now been made public by NASA.
The instant you plunge into the event horizon is depicted in the film, which was produced by a NASA supercomputer. This is referred to as the point of no return for a black hole.
We observe the strange consequences where things are stretched out in accordance with Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
In actuality, “spaghettification” would be imposed on any astronaut who was unfortunate enough to find himself inside a black hole. Anyone who saw what occurred to John Krasinski’s Mister Fantastic during Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will understand that this tidal effect is generated by powerful gravitational fields seen around a black hole.
Astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman created the visualizations, showing off the effect of being pulled into a black hole. Explaining what it’s like, Schnittman said, “People often ask about this, and simulating these difficult-to-imagine processes helps me connect the mathematics of relativity to actual consequences in the real universe.”
“So I simulated two different scenarios, one where a camera — a stand-in for a daring astronaut — just misses the event horizon and slingshots back out, and one where it crosses the boundary, sealing its fate.”
NASA concentrated on a supermassive black hole that is 4.3 million times more massive than the Sun. It is comparable to a monster that is located at the core of our Milky Way galaxy, to put it in perspective.
The event horizon of this black hole is 16 million miles across, or about 17% of the distance between Earth and the Sun.
The image depicts an accretion disc, which is a whirling cloud of heated gas.
They are included in the simulation to demonstrate the spaghettification, along with luminous photon rings.
Schnittman says you’d actually want to fall into a supermassive black hole when compared to others, adding, “Stellar-mass black holes, which contain up to about 30 solar masses, possess much smaller event horizons and stronger tidal forces, which can rip apart approaching objects before they get to the horizon.”
Those watching would never make it, even if it takes the camera about three real-time hours to enter the event horizon. According to NASA, space-time becomes increasingly warped as one approaches the event horizon, which causes the camera’s image to slow down until it appears to freeze. Black holes were first referred to as “frozen stars” by astronomers.
When it was shared on Reddit, one viewer said, “This gave me anxiety.”
Another added, “I remember when I first saw Interstellar, I felt like I got out of touch with reality for a few hours. Time travel is crazy.”
Someone else concluded: “Fun watching this while being spaghettified.. “
In any case, we don’t want to visit a black hole since we don’t want our innards to be transformed into meaty spaghetti.
