Have scientists ever probed into a black hole, like to see what is inside/otherside?

I didnt read the article to deep for me.

I think Maximillian Schell did that once with Yvette Mimeux.

The “edge” of a black hole is the event horizon.

Basically, there are no laws of physics, no time, nothing inside a black hole. We can only infer its properties from the effect it has on the local gravitational field near the edge.

There's no way to tell what's going on inside a black hole except what the theoretical models tell us about it. That's because nothing can get out. So information about the interior can't be carried out on a beam of light, say, because light itself can't get out. The gravity is way too strong to allow anything to get out (there is a major exception to that but, unfortunately, it can't tell us anything about what's going on inside).

Even the laws of physics might be totally different and bizarre inside a black hole but there is no way we'll [ever] be able to directly observe it. I'm hedging my bets a little bit by putting 'ever' in brackets because I think it's kind of presumptuous to put limits on what our descendants will be able to do or not do thousands or millions or billions of years from now, if they're still around.

What is beyond the event horizon is likely something that will never be known - good science fiction stories notwithstanding.

Even approaching a black hole is to court catastrophe. As you approach, the massive gravitation will rip you apart.
