</ref>) is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like [[spaghetti]]) in a very strong non-homogeneous gravitational field, and is caused by extreme [[tidal forces]]. In the most extreme cases, near [[black hole]]s, the stretching is so powerful that no object can withstand it, no matter how strong its components. Within a small region the horizontal compression balances the vertical stretching so that small objects being spaghettified experience no net change in volume.
 
In his book ''[[A Brief History of Time]]'' (1988),  [[Stephen Hawking]] describes the flight of a fictional [[astronaut]] who, passing within a black hole's [[event horizon]], is "stretched like spaghetti" by the gravitational gradient (difference in strength) from head to toe. However, the term "spaghettification" was established well before this; [[Nigel Calder]], for example, uses it in his book ''[[The Key to the Universe|The Key to the Universe: A Report on the New Physics]]'' (Viking Press, 1977), a companion to a one-off [[BBC]] TV documentary: ''The Key to the Universe''.
 
==A simple example==
[[File:Spaghettification.gif|center]]
The four objects follow the lines of the gravitoelectric field,<ref>Thorne, Kip S. ♦ [http://einstein.stanford.edu/content/sci_papers/papers/nz-Thorne_101.pdf#page=3&view=FitV Gravitomagnetism, Jets in Quasars, and the Stanford Gyroscope Experiment] From the book "Near Zero: New Frontiers of Physics" (eds. J.&nbsp;D.&nbsp;Fairbank, B.&nbsp;S. Deaver, Jr., C.&nbsp;W.&nbsp;F. Everitt, P.&nbsp;F. Michelson), W.&nbsp;H. Freeman and Company, New York, 1988, pp. 3, 4 (575, 576) ♦ ''"From our electrodynamical experience we can infer immediately that any rotating spherical body (e.g., the sun or the earth) will be surrounded by a radial gravitoelectric (Newtonian) field '''''g''''' and a dipolar gravitomagnetic field '''''H'''''. The gravitoelectric monopole moment is the body's mass M; the gravitomagnetic dipole moment is its spin angular momentum S."''</ref> directed towards the celestial body's centre. In accordance with the [[inverse-square law]], the lowest of the four objects experiences the biggest gravitational acceleration, so that the whole formation becomes stretched into a filament. Now imagine that the green blobs in the diagram are parts of a larger object. A rigid object will resist distortion—internal elastic forces develop as the body distorts to balance the tidal forces, so attaining mechanical equilibrium. If the tidal forces are too large, the body may yield and flow plastically before the tidal forces can be balanced, or fracture.
 
==Examples of weak and strong tidal forces==
In the gravity field due to a point mass or spherical mass, for a uniform rope or rod oriented in the direction of gravity, the [[tensile force]] at the center is found by integration of the tidal force (see [[Tidal_force#Mathematical_treatment|magnitude of tidal force]]) from the center to one of the ends. This gives <math> \frac{\mu l m}{4 r^3}</math>, where <math>\mu</math> is the [[standard gravitational parameter]] of the massive body, ''l'' is the length of the rope or rod, ''m'' is its mass, and ''r'' is the distance to the massive body. For non-uniform objects the tensile force is smaller if more mass is near the center, and up to twice as large if more mass is at the ends. In addition, there is a horizontal compressive force toward the center.  
 
For massive bodies with a surface, the tensile force is largest near the surface, and this maximum value is only dependent on the object and the average density of the massive body (as long as the object is small relative to the massive body). For example, for a rope with a mass of 1 kg and a length of 1 m, and a massive body with the average density of the Earth, this maximum tensile force due to the tidal force is only 0.4 μN.
 
Due to the high density, the tidal force near the surface of a [[white dwarf]] is much stronger, causing in the example a maximum tensile force of up to 0.24 N. Near a [[neutron star]], the tidal forces are again much stronger: if the rope has a tensile strength of 10,000 N and falls vertically to a neutron star of 2.1 solar masses, setting aside that it would melt, it would break at a distance of 190 km from the center, well above the surface (the typical radius is about 12 km).<ref>An 8 m piece of the same type of rope, hence with a mass of 8 kg, would in each case break already at a distance that is 4 times as high.</ref>
 
While in the previous case objects would actually be destroyed and people killed by the heat, not the tidal forces, near a [[black hole]] (assuming that there is no nearby matter), objects would actually be destroyed and people killed by the tidal forces, because there is no radiation. Moreover, a black hole has no surface to stop a fall. As an object falls into a black hole, the tidal forces increase to infinity, so nothing can resist them. Thus, the infalling object is stretched into a thin strip of matter. Close to the [[Gravitational singularity|singularity]], the tidal forces even tear apart molecules.
 
==Inside or outside the event horizon==
The point at which tidal forces destroy an object or kill a person will depend on the black hole's size. For a [[supermassive black hole]], such as those found at a galaxy's center, this point lies within the [[event horizon]], so an astronaut may cross the event horizon without noticing any squashing and pulling, although it remains only a matter of time, as once inside an event horizon, falling towards the center is inevitable. For small black holes whose [[Schwarzschild radius]] is much closer to the singularity, the tidal forces would kill even before the astronaut reaches the event horizon.<ref>{{cite book

Pearl jewelry catches interest due to the simple and serene beauty. It may seem like an oxymoron, but often the simplest things are those that are one of the most desirable. A look at a simple pearl earring, a example of pearl jewelry, is enough to eliminate all doubt.

In fact, for most forms of pearl jewelry, the working principle is "the easier the better." Sometimes an individual gem may even say far more when compared to a dozen pearls all arranged. For this reason some consider gem jewelry to be even more beautiful than stone, more important and eternal.

Pearls are formed whenever a foreign object, like a grain of sand, becomes trapped in an oyster or mussel. The wheat becomes covered with layers of a smooth, crystalline compound referred to as nacre. Over time this natural process produces the luminescent treasure called a treasure. Most pearls used in making pearl jewelry are cultured, meaning oysters are injected with toxins in order to encourage nacre creation. Finely-cultured pearls are scarce, and they get an exorbitant price. If you think anything at all, you will likely require to research about site.

New combinations have been prompted by the mysterious glamour of natural South Sea pearls among necklaces of numerous colors and shapes. There is an increasing need for these pearls, together with an increasing need to find out more about pearls generally.

Recall Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady", and as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany"s?" She wore such simple bead jewelry, and yet they made her face shine. Pearls bring glamour to a woman"s face, get the light and trap it in to create a very suffused light perhaps not unlike a phone. Translucence is also a mystical quality of pearls, evoking style and secret in the person.

Due to its amazing style, treasure jewelry never comes out of fashion. They could be used with almost anything; after all they serve to emphasize more the healthy color of your skin as opposed to the clothes a person wears.. To learn more, consider checking out: go there.
