At least it isn’t “that planet” this time.

What if we sent a probe to explore a black hole? One astrophysicist believes it.

Believes what?

Just aim in the general area. The rest takes care of itself in 300 years, and it won’t get back to you.

I’m not sure black holes are proven to exist yet.

Just tie a long string theory to it so it can find its way back.

The nearest black hole is 1,560 light-years away. Assuming a probe can travel at 0.01 c, it would only take 156,000 + 1,560 years to get a signal back from the probe just as it heads into the black hole.

So, how many monthly project reports will that include?

The scientist wants to send more than one probe since presumably the first one will be obliterated in the black hole.

Unless they can beat the speed of light somehow all the scientists working on the project will be long dead before any data was returned.

Most likely the civilization that launched the probes will probably be gone as well!
