00:00If you fell into a black hole, what would you actually feel?

00:03So you start to feel this strange sensation of being stretched and squashed.

00:08That's because the distortion in space-time is not constant over the length of your body.

00:18And as you go closer and closer to the singularity, those effects become much more extreme.

00:22They're so extreme that you cease to stay together.

00:25The atoms inside of you separate, and the quarks inside, the protons inside the atoms,
