Is there any way to fall into a black hole and end up alive?

@guerrillarain I don't know how close is too close to avoid getting destroyed by tidal forces. I do know that as you approach it you'd see the accretion disk bulge up around the black hole due to gravitational lensing. And as you enter the black hole (looking back out into space) you'll see the entire sky distort into a sort of dome above you as the black hole appears to engulf and surround you. The light coming into the black hole would also get more and more blueshifted the closer you got to the center, and it would eventually concentrate to a small point. https://witches.town/media/o8nZK-miWZoga7D91y8 https://witches.town/media/jLCntLLVaftnCIhtiCA https://witches.town/media/5LLHqMdUe0q9Ze2OppA https://witches.town/media/RHOGvUcRSlQSYMlxD7g
@guerrillarain I just realized that didn't answer the question at all. Sorry, I just wanted to share because I think this stuff is neat.
@Vann No! I really do appreciate it. I'm very curious but don't know much about it, so any and all information helps 😊

@guerrillarain Ok then, I think this vid covers most of what I just said and shows what orbiting a black hole would look like at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM8HvoaKsBU
Here's one from pbs that I haven't finished watching yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mht-1c4wc0Q

The images are just screenshots from Space Engine which has a pretty accurate model of black holes. Recommend checking it out if you want to see this sort of thing for yourself. http://spaceengine.org
@Vann HOLY BALLS OF FIRE. This is so amazing, thank you.
