By Jove I think you've got itI thought the last question was "How do you know so much about 'swallows'?" I think the answer to that is self-evident.
Unless you cross the event horizon then the tidal forces would have almost no effect on you supposing that you can survive the extreme radiation. Actually if you were to cross the event horizon then the effects would vary in accordance to if the black hole were a supermassive black hole or one of a lesser size. (The tidal forces may even be less than that of Earth's at the event horizon, depending again on the size of the black hole).Now I have read that if one were to fall into a black hole one would become "spaghettified", that is to say, stretched by tidal forces.

But as one falls into the black hole one's speed would approach the speed of light, nicht wahr? And so then the Fitzgerald Contraction would cause one to shorten in the direction of the acceleration, and this would lessen the tidal effect.
So, my question is: Would the shortening be enough to counter the tidal effects and prevent "spagghettification"?
And if you did not fall directly into the black hole, but spiralled in, your orbital velocity at right angles to the gravitational acceleration would also increase as your orbit became smaller, and your increasing wavelength would make your position increasingly indeterminate.
Would that make you a "spaghetti-o" or would you just become a string?
(I'm sorry, but it is two thirty in the morning, and this is the time I think about things like that.)
Only if the tidal forces are sufficiently shallow - in, for example, a supermassive black hole, found in all good galactic cores.Now I have read that if one were to fall into a black hole one would become "spaghettified", that is to say, stretched by tidal forces.

You'd be sort of a spiral, since you'd go in with each revolution, and your back end would follow. Plus, I'm not sure its possible to orbit a black hole as you plummet to its cold, hard depths...And if you did not fall directly into the black hole, but spiralled in, your orbital velocity at right angles to the gravitational acceleration would also increase as your orbit became smaller, and your increasing wavelength would make your position increasingly indeterminate.

So how many swallows would it take?Coconuts weigh about a pound, swallows weigh about 5 ounces. The weight would be too much for the swallow to carry. Even if it had the weight, you'd have to consider that coconuts are not exactly going to be easy to transport by claws or a much smaller beak.
Not unless the earth increased in mass. One way to do that is to force one of the planets to collide with earth but this will annihilate all life on earth and possibly create a second moon!Ooh. I just remembered something.
I saw a video like 25 years ago about the tribulation years.
One part of it claimed that our bodies would be so heavy during this time that we could barely even move.
Is there any possible chance that the gravitational pull on Earth could ever become greater than what it already is?
The Earth would have to become more dense, or more massive, neither of which are particularly likely.Ooh. I just remembered something.
