Well, first of all, we have found black holes with X-ray telescopes.
We know the gravitational tidal forces of a black hole would completley destroy anything that got anywhere near it. Hell, we couldn't even land a probe on a nutron star, let alone a black hole.
It would be interesting to see what happened. We could measured the forces as they tore it apart. Do you think it would be possible to pass informtion thru the event horizon.
My formal college knowledge of black holes was a paper I wrote in a tecnical writing course back when you used typewriters.
