      Great question! We don’t know for certain, but the main theory is called “spaghettification” (it is sometimes called the noodle effect, too). Spaghettification is where an object (or human) would be stretched a huge amount, and ripped apart, by the incredible gravitational forces of a black hole. Pretty grim!
