I've had a bad day, so it would cheer me up to dunk on modern black hole theory.
What you've been told about black hole theory is wrong. You've been told that particles enter the event horizon and fall into the singularity. They don't.
Massive particles move through timelike space between null geodesics. At the event horizon there is no timelike space because it is nothing but converged null geodesics. Null, lightlike space.
Physicists have tried to explain away this problem by performing coordinate transformations. Yes, they conflate geodesics which are solutions with arbitrary coordinates.
The most hilarious of these are the Eddington Finkelstein which not only change no geodesics but are ln(0) singular at the event horizon.
I already feel better about today having told you that our modern black hole theory is a joke. Thanks.
