I would 100% volunteer to be the first person to cross the event horizon of a spinning supermassive black hole, just to see what’s on the other side.
Like yeah it’s guaranteed to be a one-way trip and probably a horrible death, but there’s also the possibility that it’s actually a gateway to alternate universes, and that’s something I’d give anything to see with my own eyes.

The way they are depicted in fiction is so wrong tho.

To be fair even our attempts at describing a technically possible but implausably simple version of a blackhole are essentially educated speculation. Although worth noting that black hole like objects did appear in fiction before they were discovered IRL.

You should say which appearance you have in mind. Year and author.

What do you mean? We understand them well enough that we can predict the gravitational waves of a black hole merger.
