I’d prefer to hit that firewall myself, then be continually stretched and spaghettified.
It does make sense that, at some point, you would hit something in the black hole. As small as those particles would be, they’d be clumped together to be like cement.
I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The astronaut would be killed first by the X-rays from the superheated gasses falling into the black hole. Then burned. Whatever is left over would be rent asunder by the gravity gradient before hitting the event horizon.
They have no idea, but they take our grant money, and have to say something. They get together and have meetings about what direction to take their theories, with the number one criterion being the maximization of grants. They are fools. Expensive, egotistical fools. What they say is lies.
They don’t even know if Einstein’s equations are correct out to the “limits”. They just assume. And get grants.
And when they get senile, they become “Discover Channel Commentators”.
Arrogant fools.
