= Spaghettification
{wiki=Spaghettification}
Spaghettification is a term used in astrophysics to describe the process by which objects are stretched and elongated due to extreme gravitational forces, particularly in the vicinity of a black hole. This phenomenon occurs because of the strong gravitational gradient present in such regions, meaning that the gravitational pull on an object (or a person) is significantly stronger at one end than at the other, especially as one gets closer to the black hole.
