How do objects fall into black holes? Are they sucked straight in or is it a toilet bowl effect?

    I guess toilet bowl effect would be better to describe it. Black holes do not suck, stuff basically just falls in. Notice in the picture the diameter of the indentation in space time remains the same, as all objects are being projected to have the same mass. The only difference is how deep they go, the conclusion being black holes go too deep.

  • Toilet bowl effect. The gravity is so strong they are reduced to Infinitely dense strands. This is called 'Spaghettifacation'.

  • Hey! Listen! Kinda like a toilet bowl, but much cooler. Particles and objects undergo spaghetti-fication, in which the atoms are stretched so thin by the pull of the vortex that they become thinner than a strand of spaghetti.
