Will he or any matter draw into the blackhole ever hit the singularity?
Does the singularity or blackholes even exist or are merely the point
where GR equations break?
We're doing no better than ancient philosophers trying to split the
matter and thinking about its outcome without a shred of evidence or
measurements... which is the point of the GM guy in the article this
thread links to:
"We start with effects actually seen in the lab, which I think gives it
more credibility than black holes"
evidence.

If we assume blackholes exist, without much evidence so far, how about
going even further in the imagination? What if our 4D space-time isn't
but a section of higher dimensional spaces, like a julia fractal section
rendered in povray? Perhaps the blackhole is then just a curve along
this surface and the poor fellow ends up in another region of
space-time. The original outside observer will never see him again,
unless he goes all the way back through the worm hole...

Those greeks philosophers were just full of marijuana. And pasta. They
were first possibly the first thinkers of mankind to think too much on
far too abstract subjects rather than more mundane and practical
matters... :P
