I want planet nine to be a primordial black hole so we can send a few probes out to orbit it and then chuck stuff into it to learn about quantum gravity.

  This is the extreme stereotype of humanity: travel somewhere far away and continue to litter just like you do at home. No respect for the locals! Worse, since it's far away it doesn't come back to make a bigger problem for you later.

    Anything chucked into a black hole becomes either gamma rays or more black hole.

      It's not littering, it's perfect composting!

      or gravity waves

  Wouldn't anything lobbed into a black hole with angular significant mass appear to be falling in forever? From the reference frame of the object, it falls in real time. From the reference frame of us, all time would pass before it falls in. In other words, I don't think it would be possible to get any meaningful data from a probe within the next trillion years or so?
