Could a human enter a black hole to study it? (theconversation.com)

Betteridge’s law of headlines says that any headline that ends with a question mark can be answered with the word “no”.

Could a human enter a black hole to study it? No. Like obviously not.

   The person would experience spaghettification, and most likely not survive being stretched into a long, thin noodlelike shape.
