Word: spaghettification Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From spaghetti + -ification (suffix meaning ‘the process of becoming’ forming nouns), alluding to the appearance of a strand of spaghetti. Pronunciation: /spəˌɡɛtɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/, /spəˌɡɛtəfəˈkeɪʃən/, [-ɾɪ-], [-fɪ-] 1. The gravitational stretching of objects into long, thin shapes, usually near a black hole.

Before he comes near the event horizon, his body will be pulled out beyond the limits that flesh and blood can stand and he will suffer the excruciating death of ‘spaghettification’ long before he is in any position to unravel the secrets of the black hole. The strength of the spaghettification effect (usually known more prosaically as ‘tidal stretch’ for it is related to the way the Moon raises tides on Earth) depends on the mass of the rack-inducing black hole. 2. The act of turning something into long, thin strands like spaghetti.
