Unfortunately, once a star collapses beyond its Schwarzchild's radius and becomes a black hole, it effectively leaves our Universe. We can never hope to probe beyond the event horizon because the laws of our Universe no longer apply—space-time becomes so curved by gravity that matter is crushed into an infinitely tiny and dense point called a singularity. And Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the laws of quantum physics cannot reconcile the dramatic differences seen near a singularity.
