'Poking' the Event Horizon
Forgive what is probably a ridiculous scenario, I was having a discussion earlier
We have Black Hole A and Black Hole B of completely (or near) equal gravitational field strength.

A civilization has developed a magnetically re-enforced pole.
The pole is made up of smaller segments which produce a magnetic/dimagnetic field of arbitrary strength to hold it together and directly counteract gravity/gravitational distortions/stresses
The energy requirements of each segment can be easily met by the civilization at any time as needed - as long as it is not infinity.
The civilization extends the pole towards Black Hole A and Black Hole B (carefully)

The pole extends past the event horizon of each Black Hole

assume time dilation is not an issue to the experimenters
questions:
* what happens?
* can the civilization theoretically receive information at speed of sound from the pole about the inside of the event horizon?
