      Hi Bubble789,

      Intriguing question! No-one to date knows exactly what is at the ‘end’ of a black hole. This is because once you get too close to a black hole, the gravitational pull is SO strong that not even light can escape! At this point, no-one could ‘see’ into a black hole, because we’d need the light that’s been trapped by the black hole to be able to ‘observe’ anything.

      Peter
