      Firstly, I’m not sure we would survive, but in the event that we did, I’m not sure we would be able to see anything?
      I think a physics expert is best answering this one!

      Not a lot – because you’d be squished up into an infinitely small space and would almost certainly be dead!

      Here’s a neat webpage with a video made by some physicists of what they think you would see if you fell into a black hole (and somehow managed to survive):

      (Your school firewall will need to let you see YouTube videos to watch the video, though – sorry about that! But if not, the webpage also describes it).
