Immortal Astronaut FTW (Score 1)

I don't believe either theory is right. When falling into a black hole one would be stretched along with space/time. To a corporeal 3rd dimensional being it would be near imperceptible. Much like a 2D drawing on a piece of paper the subject wouldn't feel the bending or stretching if a higher being were to crumple it, tearing would of course be catastrophic on all dimensions but up till that point the astronaut would feel nothing has changed as long as the fabric hasn't been distorted beyond the bounce back point. As the black hole condenses and forces time to slow the astronaut would be trapped in an ever slower and darker situation, provided he had air or a ship he would live indefinitely.
