Space and time are not separate. They form a single four-dimensional fabric. An event is not a place or a moment -- it is both, inseparable, a point in spacetime.
Mass tells spacetime how to curve. Curvature tells matter how to move. Gravity is not a force -- it is geometry. Objects in freefall follow the straightest possible path through curved space.
Standing on Earth and accelerating in a rocket at 9.8 m/s are indistinguishable. There is no experiment you can perform to tell them apart. Gravity and acceleration are the same phenomenon.
A straight line through curved spacetime is called a geodesic. Light follows geodesics. Planets follow geodesics. You, sitting still, follow a geodesic through time.
All geodesics converge. All worldlines terminate. Information enters but never leaves. The singularity is not a place in space -- it is a moment in time. Your future, once you cross the horizon.
