      That’s an extremely interesting question!
      Actually a black hole is defined as a point with infinite energy and infinite mass, everything is “squeezed” together inside a black hole. Space and time themselves are squeezed together, to the point that you can’t distinguish one or the other! Yes, I know it’s difficult to imagine a reality where space&time are confused… Try to imagine a red ball behind you and not being able to understand if the red ball exists behind you or you saw that yesterday!
      There are theories that say that at the bottom of a black hole there’s another black hole that will bring you to a different part of the universe.
      The truth is that we don’t know what’s at the bottom of a black hole. Anything can get into a black hole, but *nothing* at all can come out so we can’t even think of sending there a small satellite to investigate… It’s a very tricky problem! 😀
