  1. Rush’s song, “Cygnus X-1” (1977) told about the pilot of a spaceship getting too close to a black hole and being torn apart like this.

    upgrade your rams and your cpu’s and you’ll find that the video is just fine.

    this guy is the new carl sagan. he’s awesome and is happy to talk about science in a way that doesn’t make you feel stupid.

  3. @harv Yay, I’m not the only fan! Cygnus X-1 is a monstrous track.

    Spinning, whirling,
    Still descending,
    Like a spiral sea
    Unending!

    Sound and fury
    Drown my heart,
    Every nerve is
    Torn apaaaaart.

  4. He’s misleading in what he’s saying though. Spaghettificatino does not refer to death by falling into a black hole, but to the process of being elongated as you fall in, which would happen while you’re still alive too. This also applies to anything that falls in, including items that are not and were never alive.
