So to answer your question, the experience of getting sucked into one wouldn't be that different from getting sucked into a star aside from the fact that you would be ripped apart into tiny little atoms and then added to the giant mass rather than burned up.

(But all that being said, we've never actually observed anything like that, so that's just in theory.)
Yeah, in theory.

I like the temporal fun time of the Kerr theory though. Time travel is neat!
