Word Of the Day

Spaghettification

It is “…the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) in a very strong gravitational field, and is caused by extreme tidal forces.(Also sometimes referred to as “the noodle effect)”.Image In the most extreme cases, near black holes, the stretching is so powerful that no object can withstand it, no matter how strong its components. ”  –Wikipedia

 

Can you imagine being really annoyed at someone and yelling, “you’d better be careful, or I will spaghettify you!!”
