Astronomers take virtual plunge into black hole

Dare to fall into a black hole and you would get vaporized in what is probably the most violent place in the universe. But the journey would yield some amazing sights, though you might need three eyes for the best view of what's going on, new research suggests.

I'm tired of seeing the 50-1 longshot headline.

I don't know if vaporized is the right word.

More like you'd get torn apart into smaller pieces because of the differences of the gravity between your feet and your head.

But to an outside onserver watching you go in, it would seem as if you were getting closer and closer, yet more and more slowly until you basically froze in place. Quantam physics is cool stuff.
