What would happen if someone was sucked into a black hole?

In summary, if a person were sucked into a black hole, it would depend on the size of the hole. If it was a small hole, they would be ripped apart by tidal forces before they got close to the event horizon. If it was a very big hole, they may be OK. The event horizon is a coordinate singularity: exists in the math not real life. So even if someone was sucked into a black hole, they may just experience strange things and not die. Supermassive black holes are even more mysterious and scientists don't really know much about them. So I would not recommend researching black holes on your own. You may be better off looking for information on black holes on Google.

That would be a "no, there is no evidence that some physicists have theorized that Black Holes are actually gateways to strange other dimensions." Whatever that is supposed to mean.

This question is actually answered more completely in many of the references already provided to you. If you are not going to read the replies, why should anyone bother replying?
