      I’m not sure but my immediate answer would be nothing!

      This is a great question but as Martin wrote, we don’t really know. So what is a black hole. It is a very strong gravitational force that pulls everything in its proximity inwards. What happens next well it is very hard to know because at the centre of a black hole time slows down. So even if you could watch it would take so long to report back an answer that no one would remember asking the question. Great to see your thinking of things this complicated though 🙂

      Is there a bottom?! If time does really slow down as you get closer to the middle, will you ever make it to the bottom?
