      No I don’t know, but I’m not sure anyone else does either! The reason black holes are called black holes is because not even light can travel fast enough to escape their gravitational pull, so we really can’t see inside. Stephen Hawking came up with a theory about how particles on the edge of black holes could maybe escape, called Hawking Radiation, but even this wouldn’t give us any information about what is actually inside a black hole!
