Reply to comment by bradland in Black hole question by Impossible_Pop620
Pure acceleration by a black hole (or any other massive body), with no strong tidal forces present (as in a supermassive black hole), would be completely unnoticeable by the passenger of a capsule falling towards a black hole. Every atom in the capsule would experience the exact same acceleration, so there would be no net forces within the capsule.
