Outside of the event horizon and at the boundary the laws of physics still obtain. [And actually, the statement that the laws of physics "break down" inside the Schwarzild Radius is empirically false: we do not know that they break down, and based on what we are able to surmise, some laws inside appear to be preserved.] As you near the event horizon from outside of the Schwarzild Radius, time slows down very rapidly, and when you reach the event horizon time stops altogether. Unfortunately, the tidal forces [difference in gravitational attraction] near the event horizon are so enormous that no observer could survive the experience.

Sorry. Don't buy it. By the time you reach the event horizon, you are screaming like a bat out of hell toward a very unpleasant coupling with a singularity. The fact that we believe time stops shows that the equations just don't work here. I know, I know... you must have light in order to have time. Got it... but just because light has been stopped in its tracks doesn't mean you are.
