Are they even thinking in the slightest bit about plans to go into one? Also, I heard they know how to make one. A very small one.

Black holes themselves are ultra intense gravity wells that would rip apart any man-made object that was hurdled into them. We will never be able to measure what goes on inside a black hole. Thus black holes are only a gateway to annihilation.
You might be thinking of the alternate hypothesis, the wormhole. These are pathways through space-time that are solutions to mathematical questions in quantum gravity. They could tunnel to another part of our universe or, perhaps, another universe. These weird objects are only hypothetical so there is no proof as to their existence as yet.

Black holes are super dense masses of material left over from the collapse of a star. Imagine if you will, enough material to make 1,000 suns was condensed into a mass the size of your house. Now, given the fact that the gravity of an object is directly related to its mass, well I think you get the picture. The reason it is called a black hole is because the area around it appears to be a black void in otherwise bright space. The gravitational pull of the star is so great that nothing, including light, can escape. Any material substance (star dust, meteors, low flying spacecraft, etc) would be literally torn apart into its subatomic composition, and probably turned into pure energy. Also, the closest known black hole is so far away with today's technology that we couldn't fly to it in a hundred lifetimes (thank goodness, because we would probably be sucked in where we sit). So, in short, no there are no planned missions to try and enter a black hole to see what is on the other side.

No. The 'gateway' theory depends on one set of solutions to the equations for General Relativity. But there are other solutions that imply they are a gateway for 'time travel' and still others which imply 'instantaneous' travel between points in this Universe.

As of right now, this is only a theory. There is no way to test it because even if we do throw something into a blackhole, we have no way to prove of where it went or any other thing like that.

In thought, it is available. somewhat some human beings think of that wormholes and black holes are unrelated. it is incorrect. it is been theorised (maximum famously by making use of Einstein and Rosen) that "bridges" can exist between 2 black holes, even though under no circumstances proved. The theories are in accordance with mathematical fashions and our information of spacetime, in accordance to usual Relativity. A wormhole is merely a properly-liked call used to describe an Einstein-Rosen bridge. they might exist in nature between black holes, or they may be generated by making use of a few great-progressed technologies/skill source that we are hundreds of years from harnessing. Wormholes would want for use to shuttle to distant areas of our universe rapidly, or maybe different universes. See "Multiverse" for info. Traversing a wormhole is somewhat complicated, despite if. Calculations propose that any count entering the wormhole would reason its cave in. besides, you will choose to discover a rotating black hollow to flow into to dodge being annihilated by making use of the singularity. there is a few thing approximately rotating black holes (that i'm no longer knowledgeable sufficient to intricate upon) that helps you to dodge the singularity, in thought of direction.

As far as I knew a black hole isn't a hole(a we know it) at all, it is actually a large mass. As I'm assuming you know the more mass something has the stronger its gravitational pull on surrounding objects is. Wheather by density or sheer size a black hole nothing more than an object that has so much mass that not even light can escape the stegnth of its pull. so, if you were to approach a black hole you wouldn't be sucked into a new universe, but rather you'd be crushed against the surface of the black hole

i dont think it's possible for black holes to be gateways to other universes, unless the universes are really small, but considering that ours is expanding, that would mean others would expand, and im pretty sure it would be noticable if a million universes were colliding together.

No they have most certainly not! There are a myriad of factors that would be involved in such a proof. Nowadays there is no one united answer. But here is a good site for you to check out for more information from NASA. http://hubblesite.org/explore_astronomy/black_holes/

They have not even proved that black holes exist.
Our universe is the only universe,anything else would have no relevance and would not exist to us.

I dont believe so as we would have to go into one to know for sure and we havent done that yet.
