What happens if I fall into a black hole in space? NASA shares simulation

lBlack holes are often described as extremely dense bodies of matter in which space-time is distorted.. In movies and books, they are evoked as vortexes in which you can travel in time or through the universe, however, this has not been confirmed by scientists.

According to what is captured in ‘National Geographic’, Black holes form when a supermassive star reaches the end of its life.its core collapses and then explodes.

In the universe there is a great variety of these bodies, for example, In the center of the Milky Way there is a supermassive hole called Sagittarius A* and, around it, suns and planets rotate, among them, the Solar System.

What happens inside a black hole?

The Pot published a video on May 6 in which it was captured a simulation of what would happen if a body enters the gravity of a black hole.

The destination is a supermassive black hole with 4.3 million times the mass of our Sun, equivalent to the monster located at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. To simplify complex calculations, the black hole does not rotate“says NASA.

It is explained that ““A flat, swirling cloud of hot, glowing gas called an accretion disk surrounds the black hole and serves as a visual reference during the fall.”.

The same goes for bright structures called photon rings.which form closer to the black hole from light that has orbited it one or more times“, it was added.

This project generated approximately 10 terabytes of data, equivalent to half the estimated text content in the United States Library of Congress.

The work was completed in about five days using just 0.3 percent of Discover’s 129,000 processors. Performing the same task on a conventional laptop could take more than a decade.
