Could anything live inside a black hole?

What we know: General relativity describes the spacetime around and within a horizon, and the very different experiences of infalling versus distant observers. What we do not: What actually happens deep inside, where classical theory breaks and quantum gravity should take over.

Could an Entire Civilization Live Inside a Black Hole?

Some ideas are speculative, but not stupid.

This is a thought experiment about horizons, causality, and observers, not a claim. It is a way to stress-test what general relativity says about the interior of a black hole.

Field report pending

Civilizations inside black holes are highly speculative and should be treated as a thought experiment about spacetime, horizons, causality, and what an observer could experience.

Expected concepts

?What does "inside" a black hole even mean physically?
?What would an infalling observer experience versus a distant one?
?Where do our theories stop giving consistent answers?
