This thread has got way out of hand, and is now verging into the realm of personal theories. I think it best for all involved to lock this thread here.
The event horizon is the boundary around a black hole from which nothing, including light, can escape.
Inside the event horizon, the gravitational pull of the black hole is so strong that it causes space and time to become infinitely distorted. This is known as the singularity.
No, it is believed that anything that crosses the event horizon will be pulled into the singularity and destroyed.
The size of the event horizon depends on the mass of the black hole. The more massive the black hole, the larger the event horizon.
No, since nothing can escape the event horizon, it is impossible to see or gather any information about what is happening inside.
