TIL: the claim that says that you'll never see a probe you sent towards a black hole crossing the event horizon is correct, but it assumes that the probe is the last object entering into the black hole. If more objects go into the black hole, the event horizon expands and "absorbs" the probe, hiding it from you, forever.
