[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Yes. The "gravity gradiant" mentioned before refers to the fact that gravity is stronger the closer you get the the center. This is true of anything; gravity is stronger on Earth at lower elevations because you're nearer the center of the planet. However, since the gravity of Earth is so weak anyway, the effect is unnoticeable. However, in a black hole, the difference is very noticeable. The end of the ship closer to the center will be pulled harder than the end farther away. Therefore, the near end will move toward the center more quickly than the far end, causing the ship to stretch. Or, since the ship isn't flexible, it'll tear apart. [/QB][/QUOTE]
