Thank you, that answers my question. I'm really excited to see the photo of the black hole! They say it will be taken this year.

So... we basically now nothing of what's going on "behind" the event horizon. Not even if there is some kind of volume or if the mass transforms into energy. The conclusion is that we don't know yet. Am I right?

Could you please explain me why then. Thanks.

Sure, I mean the surface of the "object", the black hole. Just like the Earth or the Sun have a surface. I'm sure the black hole has a surface because it's just a lot of mass in a relatively tiny volume. Sorry if I didn't express myself the right way.
