scientists know there are black holes, but no one knows what happens once you get sucked in. What is being sucked in continues to encircle the black hole until light speed and then it reaches the center. I think there have been objects that fallen in, but all they know is that they were ripped apart due to the immense gravity. If you were to go into one, it would stretch you out until you were pieces. Scientists have seen many things go into one.

No one and nothing humans have made have ever been inside a black hole. The nearest we know of (or believe we know of) is the supermassive one at the centre of our galaxy, about 25,000 light years away (called Sagittarius A*).
Nothing we have built can have travelled that far.
Even the Voyager craft that were launched in the 1970's still are just reaching the edge of our solar system - that is less than a light year.
Black holes are not based on opinion (science doesn't accept opinion for scientific ideas). They are based on all kinds of observation and analysis, plus complex physics and math.
Scientists have detected radiation near the centre of galaxyt that seems to indicate that Sagitarrius A* did swallow a star whole about 50 years ago.

Since the closest possible black hole is 6,500 light years away, unless we get faster than light travel, any trip to a black hole won't be happening anytime soon. Worse, any communication with the probe once it got there would take another 6,500 years to reach Earth. You could send a probe into a supermassive black hole like the one at the center of the galaxy without it getting ripped apart by tidal forces before it reached the event horizon. With stellar mass black holes, the probe would be ripped apart at the atomic level well before it reached the even horizon (the interface of the black hole). At the center of the black hole, all the mass concentrated at a single point (assuming a non-rotating black hole). It's more of an infinitesimally thin disk for a rotating one. In the case of the non-rotating black hole, no signal or probe would ever return to us. In the case of a rotating one, it is theoretically possible to escape under certain (near impossible) circumstances, but this requires that time travel be possible (this would violate causality), we just don't have enough knowledge to explain this yet. In summary, we have to go to a supermassive black hole to cross the event horizon without the probe getting ripped apart, the probe would take tens of thousands of years just to get there. The probe would fall into the black hole and any signal would be cutoff (actually red shifted to infinity) at the event horizon. Then, we would have to be lucky enough to have the black hole rotating (likely) and be able to match the rotation of the black hole to receive anything from the probe. And that's if it's theoretically possible at all, which is a big if.

We've never actually seen one directly, but we have seen the evidence of them and the model of stellar evolution fits the observation. We can see some stars literally being eaten up by something nearby that we can't see. We have seen stars orbiting a companion that can't be seen, but it has stellar mass. Why is there no light? We see x-rays being emitted in enormous amounts from extremely hot regions near these invisible points. This signals the squashing of matter on its way to annihilation.
It would be awesome to have a photo of a black hole and star combination, but we will probably never have any such thing during our lives or the next hundreds or thousands of generations. The best we can do is artwork and computer simulations. We are capable of knowing, sometimes with an extremely high degree of confidence, about things very far away from us, without actually going there.

It's impossible. The gravity near the center is several million times as strong as the Earth's. Everything would be crushed! Entire stars are sucked into a spiral oblivion! A person or equipment would never stand a chance.
The only thing that explains the pull these things have is the black hole concept - so there it is.

Just because we've never gone inside a black hole doesn't mean what we know about them is our 'opinion'. The mass of black holes is clearly established by local gravitational effects. Matter falling into black holes is accelerated and emits x-rays that we can detect in the process. This is plenty of evidence for black holes. Plenty of stuff is sucked into black holes, we see it whenever we look at one. Suffice it to say, if you were falling into one feet first, the gravitation effects would stretch your feet more than your head and rip you apart before you got anywhere near it. It's that massive.

Black holes are real. I don't think scientist can get into a black hole or they will get sucked in. I don't know if anything has fallen into a black hole.

A Cave, deep down in the Earth is basically a Black hole.If you shine a light inside a blackhole of the cave ,light would get absorbed in the atoms of the cave and will not leave the cave.
There has been scientists down the black holes of caves to explore them.

Ans to the first ques:-
Both.
Ans to the second quest:-
Yes. Black holes do exist. Stars die and end up getting sucked up by the black hole. If the black hole does not exist dead stars will be scattered all over the galaxy and the atmosphere won't be really good due to the dead star's gases.
Ans to third quest:-
Stars. Dead stars.

first of all noooooo and never
well a black hole is dark and black so we cant take its photograph
but its gravitational pull is so great that it doesnt even let the light escape so it dark and scientists believe it exists because scientists believe they saw some thing pulling the heavienly bodies some invisial matter
