Roy Kerr: Do Black Holes Have Singularities?

I'm hoping for a happy coincidence: that expansion of space due to dark energy increases over time without bound. Then the person falling into a black hole will observe the outside universe passing by faster and faster until the expansion of space overcomes the black hole's gravitational pull. The person is thus rescued from crossing the event horizon ... though still torn apart by the expansion.

Sure, there's no evidence for this (yet?). But it'd be a nice solution to the paradox.

This guy here has a good solution: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38643347

Itm similar to science fiction where time loops resolve through circumstance. If you go back in time to stop your birth you will inevitably instigate your birth instead of creating a paradox.

I'm this case if you try to freeze time by going into the black hole the black hole will inevitably be destroyed before you can get close enough to it to encounter the singularity.
