Time would stop for the person. Gravity would most likely destroy the person

When someone entered a black hole, time stopped for them, and they felt as though they had become immortal.

The person's physical body would be crushed because no physical entity could survive in the gravitational pull of a black hole.

No one knows because no one has ever entered or exited a black hole. Would time stop before the person's body was destroyed, or would the body be destroyed before time stopped?

A person approaching the black hole's singularity would be crushed to infinite density, a point beyond which current physics is unable to adequately explain what happens. If an individual were to enter a black hole, they would encounter tremendous tidal forces that would stretch them apart in a process known as spaghettification.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
