spaghettifies

Black hole stretches

Spaghettifies describes what happens when something is stretched into long, thin strands—like spaghetti.

The term comes from astrophysics, where it describes the theoretical fate of objects falling into a black hole: extreme gravitational forces stretch them vertically while compressing them horizontally.

The astronaut would be spaghettified long before crossing the event horizon.

Used loosely for any dramatic stretching or distortion.
