You'd come up empty handed. Yes, weird physics applies here, because, as I said in my original post, you are dealing with a 1e999 solar mass BH. And we are not asking what happens at those energies, we are just applying GR gravity the way God and Albert intended.

Your cable would be sheared, with no shear forces, because your probe is now in the past, or else it is still on the other side of the EH, But YOU are in the future of YOU.

It's a bit like the famous scene from Spaceballs. You are asking, "what happened to then?", And I'm telling you, "You missed it. It's now now. Everything that's happening now, is happening now."

Time would shear it? As you pass the EH there's a significant change, then?

Yeah because the effect of time would be dilated. Think about this. You are driving in a straight line but suddenly your leg gets dilated significantly into the past while the rest of you accelerates into the future.

What do you think will happen to your leg? There's no forces exerting on it because it's the same force, the motion of the car going forward. But yet if the leg was in the past and the rest of you in the future it would be as if it were sheared off because it wouldn't share the same momentum you share due to the shift in its own relative time.

The probe wouldn't notice a significant change. In fact it would be really tough for the probe to pinpoint when or even IF it had actually crossed the EH.

But you wouldn't get the probe back, you wouldn't get any signals, and you wouldn't feel any significant change in forces. The probe would just be gone (from your PoV). Meanwhile the probe would think it was still attached and sending back data, but the data never gets there....
