As you can probably imagine by this point, falling into a black hole would be terrifying. "If you fell into a black hole, the gravitational pull would stretch you out in a process called ...

Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit still ...
