Many years ago, when Scientific American was published by Freeman & Co and was still a respectable publication, Freeman had special book offers to SA subscribers, such as a paperback version of Misner, Thorne and Wheeler: Gravitation. The ad claimed that it required a 'fundamental knowledge of elementary calculus', which I thought I possessed ... Well. Two thirds of its 1300 pages are still Greek to me.

But, this book has a chapter "§32.6 The fate of a man who falls into the singularity at r=0" (make sure that you thoroughly understand the 859 preceding pages Smile | :) ), discussing this situation in great detail and grave seriousness, rather than the tongue-in-cheek that the chapter title might lead you to think. The discussion appears far less optimistic about the experience than what Super Lloyd seems to suggest.

Please don't ask me for explanations. I do not claim to thoroughly understand the 859 preceding pages.
