| Near a black hole, within hours of crossing the event horizon the astronaut would be stretched lengthways, squeezed sideways and torn to shreds in a process ailed spaghettification. |
| Spaghettification will generally kill an in-falling astronaut before the astronaut reaches the central singularity. |
| In truth, the spaghettification of the motorway intersection had less to do with revolutionary visions of the future than the more mundane problem of land politics. |
| It is not, therefore, the kind of singularity that spells inevitable spaghettification. |
| In order to avoid spaghettification, the black holes that provide the entrances and exits to hyperspace should ideally contain about a million times as much mass as our Sun. |
