Scientific paper
By imagining yourself immune to destruction, the author describes the physical characteristics of a black hole in space as you travel closer to it. Several phenomena, such as gravitational lensing, time dilation, gravitational redshift, and geometrical effects, are described and explained. Our knowledge of black holes has evolved since Newton's time, and we now understand that gravity is a curvature in spacetime caused by matter as explained by Einstein's theory of General Relativity. The bending of light from distant galaxies by our own Sun's gravity has been extensively tested to confirm Einstein's theories. Black holes probably lie at the center of most galaxies including our own Milky Way as evidenced by the rapid motions of stars and gas clouds close to our galactic center.
