What phenomenon defines the experience of falling feet-first into a stellar-mass black hole before reaching the event horizon?
Answer
Spaghettification
The immense difference in gravitational pull between the nearest and furthest parts of the body causes spaghettification, stretching an object vertically and squeezing it horizontally.
