There's nothing definitively preventing us like a physical law from going through a black hole, nothing except machines. One day it's quite possible we will be able to build something capable of going in to a blackhole. Mid-way through this I got confused and was thinking of wormholes and forgot that there was no other side to a black hole. Instead, I believe the goal is to have a machine capable of going in to a black hole and still relay data. This would give us an exponentially better understanding of not only what black holes are, but what lies in the center as well, it would spark new scientific discoveries and theories that would change how we perceive the universe. Furthermore, there is a theory that would allow you to "come out the other side" i believe, if the white hole theory is correct. This is a theory stating that since black holes suck in matter and consume matter, the matter has to go somewhere, and is then pushed out the other side in a "White hole" basically the opposite of a black hole, black holes suck in matter only, white holes push out matter only. The "White hole" theory is also theoretically what caused the big bang, since the big bang seems to fit the exact same description.
All in all, we hardly know how the universe works, let alone what is possible inside it. No matter how correct a theory is, it will only ever be a theory until we can prove it, we will only ever confirm what we "think" we know about black holes if we physically confirmed it.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
