Imagine that you’re flying through space, when suddenly you start to get dragged toward a dark abyss. Reality as you know it starts to change. Time begins to warp. And you start to feel this strange sort of sensation of being stretched and squashed…

You’re falling into a black hole, one of the most astonishing places in our universe. Some are so big they can fit over 60 of our solar systems across them, with masses up to 100 billion times our Sun. And once you fall into one past a certain point, nothing can escape.

... Or can it?

I wanted to know the latest cutting edge research about black holes, so I called up my favorite physicist, Dr. Brian Cox to answer the question: If you fell into a black hole, what would actually happen to you? What would it feel like? And what does our newest science tell us is really happening inside a black hole?
