Read the excerpt from Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Death by Black Hole.” All parts of your body are moving toward the same spot—the black hole’s center. So while you’re getting ripped apart head to toe, you will also extrude through the fabric of space and time, like toothpaste squeezed through a tube.

Answers
The answer is "human body is being moved along by an outside force".
In the first excerpt from Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Death by Black Hole,” the author talks about the black hole. A black hole is a region in space where the gravitation pull is very strong. So the human body is compressed and fragmented, by the huge forces.
In the second excerpt from Billy Collins’s “Man Listening to Disc,”, the poet describes how a person walks down a street hearing music. In the poem music is an outside force which has a great impact on the person and is his company.
In both the above-mentioned paragraphs containing excerpts from Neil deGrasse and Billy Collins, the primary idea remains the same.
The idea is that of human beings finding their place in a vast universe and realizing how insignificant it is.
The excerpts also talks of the human body being moved along by outside forces.
