Can space time really be infinitely curved (e.g by a black hole)?

A black hole doesn't curve spacetime, a black hole is (a region of) highly curved spacetime with, according to General Relativity (GR), a curvature singularity enclosed by an event horizon.

However, GR is a classical theory and, as far as we know, the physical world is better modeled with quantum theory. A quantum theory of gravity is still a work in progress.
