Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of the world's most recognized translators of cosmic science, has long argued that falling into a black hole would represent humanity's most extraordinary death — not because it is merciful, but because physics would grant the dying observer a final, impossible gift: a glimpse of the universe's own future.
