Watch: Nasa's Mind-Bending Simulation Shows What Happens If You Fall Into A Black Hole
==========
NASA's simulation shows what happens when a camera crosses into a black hole's event horizon, showing how time and space get distorted. The simulation, designed by NASA, also allows viewers to explore the event horizon. The project was led by astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and scientist Brian Powell. The target is a supermassive black hole, resembling the one in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, which boasts a mass millions of times greater than our Sun's. The simulation predicts two possible outcomes for NASA's camera. One simulation predicts the camera narrowly missing the event horizon. The other simulation predicts the camera crossing the line but then going through a process called 'spaghettification'. NASA's simulation also proposes another scenario where it orbits close to the event horizon but does not cross it. In this case, time starts acting strangely. Time starts to stretch or dilate. For the astronaut onboard, time passes normally, but for distant observers, it slows down. This time-stretching effect means when the astronaut returns, they'll be younger than those who stayed away.
