Abdul Aziz bin Razab: Is there anything that isn't spagitified when it goes into a black hole? No, so what happens, it's a very simple calculation. Steel is held together more strongly than your body is, but there's still a breaking point for the atoms of steel. Not only that, it'll rip the atoms themselves apart. And the nuclei, that's what I'm saying. That's evil forces. So this is where gravity wins over atoms.
Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer a grab bag of fan-submitted Cosmic Queries on black holes, dark matter, aliens, colonizing planets, Sir Isaac Newton, and a whole lot more!
