Ever wondered what would happen if you fell into a black hole? Well, Professor Brian Cox has all the answers.
As unlikely as a scenario that would be, it's always best to be prepared - and it's clearly something that many have wondered about, given that there's a few simulations of what it would look like, with one even coming from NASA themselves.
So if you wanted a visual representation, then you can see that here, but if you'd prefer to just hear about it then look no further.

Sitting down with LADbible, the physicist has revealed exactly what would happen to a human's body if they found themselves inside a black hole.
Should you find yourself in a small black hole, you'd be instantly ripped apart due to the force of gravity, Cox explained.
However, his answer does depend on the enormity of the black hole.
"It depends on the mass of the black hole is the technical answer. So, if it's a small black hole, by which I mean just a few times the mass of our Sun, then you'd get ripped apart by the tidal gravitational forces before you actually fell in," he said.
"So, as you approach the event horizon of the black hole, it becomes very nasty."
However, the consequences of falling into a large black hole are very different.
Cox used the two black holes that have been photographed as examples; one in the centre of the Milky Way, and another in the centre of a galaxy called M87.
If you fell towards M87, he revealed that you'd initially be unaffected and inside the black hole for over 24 hours until anything happened to your body, adding: "As far as we know, you would fall across the horizon into the interior of the black hole, and you'd be unaffected.
"You wouldn't notice as you fell across the horizon.
"And then, you'd have something like 30 hours-ish inside the black hole until you approach the singularity which is in your future when you cross the horizon. So, it's not something you can avoid."
You'd then be 'Spaghettified' and arrive at the end of time, as outlined in Einstein's theory.
The process of being 'Spaghettified' is exactly as it sounds - the human body is stretched out by the gravitational pull as the gravity at your feet would be much stronger than at your head in a black hole.
This results in the body being pulled longer and thinner, before eventually passing the event horizon.
At this point, time would seem to slow down for somebody observing from outside, but for you, time would seem to be speeding up.
Ultimately, you'd be crushed by the immense gravity in a black hole regardless of its size and forever lost in its depth.
To quote Cox, 'not too nice'.
