      I don’t really know, I had always thought that life couldn’t exist inside a black hole, because the laws of space and time don’t work as they usually do inside one.

      The thing with black holes is – once you go in you can’t go back out – you can’t even send a radio signal out.

      It dosn’t matter how fast your spaceship is, once you go in that’s it for you. Because of this we can never know what the inside of a blackhole looks like.

      There are theorys that say a ‘wormhole’ (tunnel through space) would look like a blackhole, so it is possible!

      The only problem is that the gravity inside a blackhole is so strong a brave astronaut would be killed by a process called ‘spaghettification’
