I think the lot of you should back up this thread and read Quest's answer. It was a damn good one, and is pretty scientifically accurate.

Gotcha. ...Stop talking, speculating, and delving into the poetry of the infinite everyone. The question has been answered. Discussion is over. Move along now.
Blackhole itself doesn't send electromagnetic radiation because inside event horizon escape velocity is bigger than speed of light.

Anything that appears to enter a black hole, actually got very close and was shredded into component sub atomic particles, like x-rays, gamma rays, and radio 'noise' that can be heard coming from the black hole itself.
That's right.

It's theorized that objects can fall into a Supermassive Black Hole intact, as long as it has no spin relative to the approaching object. Of course, after that they would break up fairly quickly as they approach the singularity. Many people don't realize it, but standing on the earth, our heads feel a lesser gravitational force than our feet. On earth, this difference is nominal. But near a black hole, these forces are increased. Black holes that reach a certian enormity are believed to have a good deal of distance between the event horizon and the singularity within. Once an object passes the event horizon, it cannot escape, but it need not disentigrate immediately. The closer one gets to a black hole, the greater the gravitational difference between his/her head and feet.

The force of gravity varies inversly with the distance from the object (ie. it gets weaker the further away you are), so the part of the Earth closest to the Moon is pulled towards it slightly more than the centre, while the part furthest away is pulled towards it slightly less.

The Roche limit is the distance within which a celestial body held together only by its own gravity will disintegrate due to a second celestial body's tidal forces exceeding the first body's gravitational self-attraction. Inside the Roche limit, orbiting material will tend to disperse and form rings, while outside the limit, material will tend to coalesce.
