That isn't exactly clear. For all we know, anything that passes through the event horizon turns green and sprouts wings. No information leaves a black hole, so we can't possibly know what physical rules apply beyond the event horizon. Actually, it's true that you wouldn't notice passing the event horizon, but that's only because you would have been ripped to shreds by tidal forces some distance away. That's if you somehow managed to survive various other nasty effects in the general vicinity. -mike
