Do black holes really contain an infinitely dense point?

Scientists say the event horizon marks the outer boundary of a black hole, but what happens to the mass inside remains an open question. It is not known whether it has collapsed into an infinitely small point, or singularity. A non-spinning supermassive black hole would have an event horizon radius roughly proportional to its mass, yet the physics at the centre is still unresolved.
Why now: The fundamental nature of a black hole's interior remains one of physics' biggest unsolved puzzles, prompting continued discussion.
