What happens to the matter that falls into a black hole?

Prior to falling into a black hole, matter must first pass through the vent horizon, which is the point at which light cannot escape at all.

Gravitational tidal effects, which arise from the fact that the gravitational pull on the end of an object nearest to the black hole is significantly larger than the gravitational pull at the end furthest away, will tear anything approaching the event horizon apart if the hole is not very large.

The information paradox is another issue with crossing the event horizon; according to Stephen Hawking's theory, information is somehow stored in the vent horizon, but if all information about the state of matter is lost when it crosses the event horizon, then our laws of physics are broken.

If matter is able to pass through the event horizon unharmed, it will eventually arrive at the singularity inside the black hole, which is a point of infinite density where the laws of physics collapse. If the singularity exists, the matter will be consumed by it.

To explain the events inside the black hole, we will require a quantum gravity theory, which will take a long time to develop.

The process of spaghettification occurs when matter falling into a black hole is stretched and compressed as it approaches the event horizon. Once it crosses the horizon, it cannot escape and becomes part of the black hole's mass.
