These mfers are like glitches in reality. Even trying to wrap my head around wtf they are freaks me out. How the hell can there be a thing in this universe that has infinite density? That doesn't even make sense.

Ugh

    The way time functions near an event horizon is crazy.

    Say your friend is jusy chilling near a black hole and you fall in.

    From his point of view it would take an infinite time for you to fall in.

    From your point of view it will be rather quick.

    From your point of view however, even though you'll probably die before realizing it, the entire rest of time will pass outside of the black hole. You'll see stars be born and die, and the universe come to an end.

    They're fucking weird man.

        I think your body gets torn apart by tidal forces long before you get the cool relativistic effects kitty-cri-screm. Can't have anything cool.

          What if I'm just built different? 😎

          If the black hole is big enough you can survive past the event horizon. What rips you apart is the steepness of the gravity well, but the larger the black hole the less steep the well
