I've been obsessed with black holes for probably well over a decade and I still have no clue about anything except for how they form and what they do
like apparently how close stuff can orbit without falling in depends on how fast it's spinning, which means that hypothetically it could spin so fast that things could have a stable orbit inside its event horizon such that light could escape and show us what the singularity looks like, and the only reason we don't consider that to be a possibility is because physicists just really don't like thinking about it???
And today I learned that the one we imaged is spinning so bloody fast that we get redshifting on the black hole itself, which is why in that fuzzy image one side is brighter than the other
Don't even get me started on the information paradox, man...

Quote, spaghettification only occurs because your feet are being pulled on far more than your head. If you fell into a really big, really fast spinning black hole, you'd be able to fall through more or less unharmed, and wouldn't get torn apart until much closer to the singularity.
Shhhhh Bookwrym shhhhhhhhhhhh
