    It helps a bit if you think of time inside a black hole like an onion. The outer skin is the event horizon where information about the moment the black hole was created is “stored”. Going deeper leaves that past behind you and surrounds you with more recent light, and each new layer is smaller than the last because there’s less past left to pass through between the moment the black hole was created and the moment you fell in. The singularity is the point at the center where there’s no more past left to see but future light can reach you from all directions, like a big bang in reverse.
