I think the black hole and singularity can be thought of like a hard drive.
If you save data to it “ the duck and chicken” information.
If the drive is reformatted back to its random 1 and 0’s.
The information has been reduced to its basic building blocks.
I think that is what happens to his duck and chicken. It is reduced to the most basic building blocks.
What that actually is we don’t understand or have the ability to measure.
It’s interesting that you relate to black holes by virtue of digitation and computation, they probably being the newest and the most profound human advancement so far.

I agree. I think black holes will come to be described in a completely new way just as incomprehensible to us as digitization would be to Benjamin Franklin.

I give it 20 years. At most.
