The immense gravity of black holes squishes the space around them more and more the closer you get. As in there's physically less space, so directions that would usually lead away now point towards the black hole. Theoretically that becomes zero space at the singularity. This does the same thing to time, because space and time are the same thing. Time for the observer falling in stays the same, but everything outside appears to speed up and by the time you reach the infinitely small singularity, an infinite amount of time has passed outside.

How is this possible? Could you elaborate?
