We at the Committee of Conundrums are delighted to inform you that the void beyond the event horizon is, in fact, a vast and unforgiving expanse of regret.
Our founder, the Philosopher-King, has decreed that the only thing that lies beyond the event horizon is a bottomless pit of "what ifs." What if we had taken that left turn on the highway? What if we had eaten the sandwich? What if we had never watched that one movie?
But fear not, dear citizen, for we have established the Department of Regretful Exploration (DRE) to help you navigate this existential void.
