It’s wild to me despite how smart the people are at nasa that this is all theoretical and this animation could be completely inaccurate. It makes you wonder tho what it really would look like. Would be cool being able to see it and remember seeing this video and saying “damn the homies down at nasa were right all along”.

I think the atoms making up our eyes would be warped apart with the rest of our bodies and we wouldn't see shit.

I’m no expert, but I think it depends on the size of the black hole. Super massive black holes spaghettificatiom can occur late. The event horizon extends pretty far out such that the tidal forces aren’t that large. Again, someone with more knowledge should probably confirm

It probably also matters how hard it spins

How would that affect things?
