A student becomes so excited by the whole idea of black holes that he decides to jump into one. It has a mass 10 times the mass of our Sun. What is the trip like for him? What is it like for the rest of the class, watching from afar? A student becomes so excited by the whole idea of black holes that he decides to jump into one.

The student has to fight gravity to pass through the event horizon and once he does he is ripped apart right away. The student appears to speed up as he approaches the event horizon, and appears to disappear to those watching before he ever crosses the event horizon. The student has to fight gravity to pass through the event horizon and once he does he is ripped apart right away. The student appears to slow down and become bluer (blueshifted) as he approaches the event horizon, eventually seeming to appear frozen in spacetime at the event horizon. The student passes through the event horizon easily, but even before he reaches the horizon, he starts to be stretched (spaghettified) by tidal forces until his body is ripped apart. The student appears to speed up as he approaches the event horizon, and appears to disappear to those watching before he ever crosses the event horizon. The student passes through the event horizon easily, and nothing significant will happen to him physically beyond not being able to leave
