      That’s a hard question! The centre of a blackhole is something called singularity- everything is compressed into a tiny tiny point that is extremely dense, has lots of energy inside it and a lot of mass that puts a lot of force on the things around it. So maybe like, I dunno, that might mean something in another dimension or parallel universe?!

      Science tells us that a black hole is made up of extremely dense material, beyond the density of an atomic nucleus. Therefore, it is likely that the matter inside a black hole consists of a plasma of more fundamental particles, such as quarks and gluons (the particles that make up protons and neutrons), or maybe particles that are even more fundamental than that. There is undoubtedly some very new and unknown physics happening inside a black hole.
