What we expect to see is a small black disc surrounded by the light produced by the radiation of the matter falling in. What enters a black hole does not come out again, at least if we neglect quantum theory. The surface of a black hole is like the present: it can be crossed only in one direction. From the future, there is no return. For a black hole, the past is the outside; the future is the inside. Seen from outside, a black hole is like a sphere which can be entered but out of which nothing can come.
