  1. I have been lately interested black holes and wanted to ask about some very hypothetical scenario. Let's say we have some kind of an extremely massive black hole (my understanding is that it enables you to cross the event horizon without being completely torn apart. Now let's say we are on some strange planet that is painted in a continuous gradient by the longitude, say red on north pole and blue on south pole and then some spectrum of colors in between. Let's now imagine it is being pulled towards the black hole with the south pole of the planet being the closest. Furthermore let's say I am on the equator with a flashlight pointing towards the ground. I'm really curious what would it actually look like: Would I somehow start floating at some point due to some balance of forces? If not, could I run towards the south pole? If yes, what would the colors underneath my feet look like? What would happen if I cross the event horizon? Would everything go black, or would I still see some colors on the ground? What would it look like if on the contrary I was on the south pole and tried to run north away from the black hole?
