A thread comes out of the darkness. It shortens, widens, and becomes a ship again.
Cinematic reverse tides
Follow a tiny cloud shaped like the ship. Each piece falls freely. Tides pull it apart along the fall and squeeze it across both other directions.
This is a separate radial plunge into a non-spinning black hole, from 36 to 1.03 horizon radii, viewed in a nearby falling frame. The center has free-fall energy E = 1. Relative velocities start at zero. It uses the linear geodesic-deviation solution: radial stretch 0.2q² + 0.8/√q; transverse scale 2√q − q, with q = r/36.
The cloud is tiny compared with the hole and is enlarged here. There is no hull strength, fracture, gas collision or optical lensing in this close view. Dots retain the original hull pattern; they are unbound test particles, not welded metal.
