To quote this article, "When an object gets 'too close,' it will start to experience tidal forces. Here on Earth, the ocean has high and low tides which are caused by the Moon's gravitational pull tugging on Earth and its water. So, tidal forces refer to the distortion of one object by another due to the difference in the gravitational pull on the near and far side of an object. Due to a black hole’s extreme density, objects in its vicinity will experience extreme gravity and hence extreme tidal forces that can even pull the object apart . The effects of a black hole continue to escalate as an object approaches a black hole's event horizon: This is the point of no return, or the boundary surrounding a black hole beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape. For any object falling into a black hole, the part closer to the black hole will feel a stronger gravitational pull than the part farther away from the black hole. This difference in gravitational pull increases as the object gets closer to the event horizon. The difference in gravitational pull isn’t unique to black holes, but their extreme density creates an extreme effect."
Steven Hawking first described spaghettification in his book "A Brief History of Time," which I am currently reading
Apparently, black holes can also flatten objects like pancakes. This is a phenomenon known as “pancake detonation” that primarily happens with supermassive black holes. In this phenomenon, stars that get too close to these black holes will be flattened and compressed by tidal forces. This short-lived “pancake” distortion is followed by an explosive release of thermonuclear energy .
I fixed it, don't worry
