Sucked Inside a Black Hole

Sucked Inside a Black Hole

I knew it was stupid to attempt it, but I did. Mission Control had warned me not to go too near the supermassive black hole, but I did. Call it scientific curiosity or call it mathematical frustration (the equations just did not fit the facts).

Perhaps it was a death wish: my girlfriend had decided to marry someone else before I had to go on this NASA mission. Anyway, I waited to see what would happen next. I had figured out three possible theoretical outcomes: spaghettification, incineration, or passing through the hole and entering a new universe/dimension. I pinned my hopes on the third possibility, the least likely.

None of these things happened. Instead, I became a part of the debris surrounding the black hole, a mass of matter circling violently around it – forever. The one crucial difference was that these inanimate substances needed no nourishment. My food stock would hold out for two months. What a way to explore!
