I don't know. We may have to wait until they fire up the Large Hadron Collider to find out .

We are in a black hole and don't know it. All parts of the universe are constantly being engulfed through a bunch of black holes and the relative galaxies around us are too. We can detect other black holes that are far enough away but part of our neighbor hood of the universe is stretching into those black holes too.

The Doctor Who episodes "The Impossible Planet" and "The satan Pit" pretty much explain / show you

Science Fiction broadens the Mind

As you reached the event horizon, your body, as perceive by others outside the BH, would stretch into an infinitely long piece of spaghetti-like material.

You would not know the difference, though.

Yes, and since we would not know the difference we all could be in one right now!

I think black holes are how big bangs happen in other universes/dimensions. But try and tell Steven Hawking that. He just stares at you and makes you feel small and insignificant somehow.

I would say that the gravitational pull would kill a person well before they even got close to one. I don't think any matter can pass through one.

It would seem that when you approach the event horizon, time slows down. Someone who would be watching you from a safe distance, maybe with a hubble-like telescope, would see you slow down more and more. Also, the colors you emit would undergo a redshift, meaning you start to look redder and your blue jeans become green..)

After that, you would 'spaghettify' until you are just one long (probably reaaally loooong) string of elemental particles.
Those particles then head towards the black hole and, depending on your luck and the type of black hole we're dealing with, may eventually be ejected from the 'side' of the black hole as a giant burst of electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays.

Or that's what I understand from my findings online anyway.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go mad now from the information overload I just experienced, kind of like the Hawking effect.

You find all those socks you've lost in laundry.
