If a black hole is a true singularity, then it seems that infalling matter (infalling from some accreation disc, assumibly) would have to reach superluminal velocity just to pass into the actual singularity horizon. (assuming matter is not taking a direct shot at the singularity..I don't think its possible anyway). This is a problem because it would be going backwards in time and would never actually combine with the hole itself. It would orbit, near the speed of light, but never cross? How does matter overcome the angular momentum and still obey our known laws of physics and crash the singularity border?
