I want to launch my body into a black hole after I die, where is the nearest black hole?

Question

and how much would it cost?

Thanks.

Also, what do you think would happen to me as I enter the black hole?

Answer 1

1) Oprah Winfrey. As near as the nearest television.

2) Too high a cost to calculate.

3) Nothing would happen to you if you did it, you're DEAD, remember?

Answer 2

The nearest black hole is approximately 1,600 light years away from Earth (1 light year = 5.88 trillion miles), and no one has ever sent spacecraft beyond Pluto. The furthest Pluto ever travels from the Sun is 4.5 billion miles. So the chances of you travelling to a black hole are very, very slim. Even if you did, it would take you so long to get there that your body would have decomposed, you would have run out of fuel and whoever came with you to launch you into the black hole would be dead. It would cost a huge amount of money, all the money in the world right now couldn't pay for such a journey. Sorry, but it's not going to happen.
What would happen to you if you did get there? Well no one really knows for sure because no one has ever visited a black hole, but all of the atoms that make you would probably be ripped apart until you no longer existed. Another theory says that you would be transported to another dimension.

Answer 3

Once you're dead, how do you plan to launch your body? You'll have to have someone else do it. For all you know, they may dump it down a manhole into a "black hole".

The cost might be prohibitive, since it takes decades to get probes out to "close" places like Pluto, and the nearest black hole is a heckofalot farther than that. You could be in space for a long, long, long time on your way to the black hole, assuming you had fuel to get there, since solar panels decrease in effectiveness as you would near the edge of the solar system (you'd be very far away from the sun).

Some people think that as you go into a black hole you'll reach a point of singularity.

I'd tell you to pack a flashlight, but what the heck, you'd be dead anyway.

Why not opt instead to get packed into some fireworks and blown up on the fourth of july? Probably more spectacular, and instant gratification too.

Answer 4

V4641 is 1600 light years away.

About a bezillion dollars. Unless you are willing to have the journey take fifty million years, then it will only be half a bezillion dollars. Basically, all the money in the world right now cannot pay of a space mission 1600 light years away.

And what will happen to your corpse is just plain gruesome: it will be stretched and torn to microsopic bits by the tidal force, accelerated to relativistic speed, one third of the mass would be converted to radiative energy, and then it would disappead beyond the event's horizon, never to be seen again.

Answer 5

The nearest known black hole to Earth is associated with a star known as V4641. If you could travel at the speed of light (..which you can't..) it would take 1,600 years to get there.

No one knows for certain what happens to material drawn into a black hole, but certainly your body would at least be shredded down to its individual atoms.

Answer 6

The nearest black hole, to my knowledge, is 1600 light years away. Even if NASA was crazy enough to donate their fastest spacecraft to take your body to this black hole, it would take you 25 million years to get there, barring catastrophic collisions with asteroids or space rocks.

Good luck, have a nice journey

Answer 7

it's 6875493645043 miles in the direction of east from earth during the spring equinox. it would cost around 100000000000000 dollers and..... when by the time you got their you body would have already completely decomposed unless it was frozen in ice or preserved some other way. When you went in the whole you would be pulled apart atom by atom untill you didn't exist anymore OR be portled to the 4th dimension of the universe where everyone is made of lots of little strings, called the string theory. hope you have fun with that

Answer 8

There's one near the star V 4641, about 1600 light years away. The fastest spaceship ever launched, New Horizons, could get there in about 16 million years.
I'd book early.

Answer 9

Not gonna happen.

The nearest on is many light years away. The Pioneer space craft are a few light hours away. These craft left 40 years ago, and are the most remote man maid objects.

Answer 10

My question for you is are you willing to spend your life's fortune (and your family's) to send your dead body (more importantly any dead body) to a black hole just to see it get ripped apart. You'd have to have Bill Gates' profits and savings 100-fold just to finance that. Basically it's a watse of time and money untill we have better technologies. But it'll still be a waste of money.
