      No actually!
      Remember that in fact that the Gravitational force is the weakest of all the fundamental forces. And it decreases with the power of 2 (square) of the distance.

      Yes agree with Dominic, need to be actually pretty close to a black hole to go into it. And there are theories that black holes are portals to other regions of the universe, known as Einstein-Rosen bridges, or wormholes more commonly known. So there would always remain lots of things in the universe in that case 🙂
