Gonna hijack this post to ask a somewhat related but possibly stupid question, would it be possible that instead of a singularity there happened to be a region of space with non-negligible size (ie, not a point sized region) that acted like a well instead? Things could "fall" into that well and not be able to escape, but it's not like everything in the well is at a single point.
Nobody really thinks singularities exist. It's only what comes out from our math. That's also how we know our math is wrong, we're just not sure yet how to do it better.
