From the brains behind brains on, this is Moment of Um.

Moment of Um comes to you from APM Studios. I'm Sand and Totten.

Um.

Phew. What a workout.

Oh, hi, you just caught me after some intense exercise.

Mental exercise.

Yeah, you see, I like to challenge the old noggin by imagining wild things.

Like, just now I was wondering what it would be like if you put a heater and an air conditioner in the same room and cranked them both up.

Or, what would eating apples be like if they were long and skinny like bananas?

Oh, man.

Or what if an elevator going up got stuck in quicksand that was

pulling it down?

Whew. I'm walking up a sweat just telling you about these brain breakers.

But there's one temple teaser I could use some help with. You know, someone to spot me so I don't

think harder than my neurons can

handle. The question is, what would happen if I went inside a black hole? Now, I know black holes

are so heavy with so much gravity that nothing can escape them. But what would it be like

falling into one? One of our listeners must be on a similar mental workout plan as me,

because they also asked, what would happen if you went into a black hole?

Hmm, let's get an astrophysicist to help us.

If you were to fall into a black hole, one thing we know for sure is that you're never getting out.

Hi, my name is Dakota Tyler, and I'm an astrophysicist at UCLA.
