Falling freely into a black hole (assuming we survive or being point-sized) all particles in front of you are accelerating away from you in the direction of the singularity which seems flying towards you. It only takes a small amount of time to reach the center, about the time it takes light to cross a Schwarzschild radius distance, which in the case of the Sun is about 1/100000 seconds.

Still it seems that you can never reach a particle that falls in front of you as it keeps on moving away from you while falling.

Meanwhile in the universe outside the hole it seems you are stuck on the horizon and in the little proper time that has passed on your watch, the coordinate in the universe has run on speed, so to speak.

I'm a bit confused how things in the hole end up. Do the particles end up stretched in space and time? Is the hole maybe evaporated (the evaporation radiation, or Hawking radiation, taking away your last state of being) before you end up anywhere?

EDIT

Let me phrase the question differently. You start falling freely in a region where the hole's gravity is weak (so it doesn't take an infinite time to fall in. Along the radial distance in your freely falling falling frame that accompanies you, you place poni-like masses with equal distance between them. On the back of these masses we have put point-like clocks (which sounds a bit odd but they are not affected by tidal forces).

So what will happen to the distances between the masses and what will the clocks show, relative to the others and a clock at infinity? It seems to me that the distances between the masses grows without limit while the proper clocktimes will differ too but not more than the time it takes for light to cover a Schwarzschild radius (which is about 1/100000 seconds for a hole with the mass of the Sun).

So, can we say that all matter involved of the formation of the hole is stretched out infinitely in the radial direction while the entire time it seems to take for a faraway observer at rest (which can be a very long time) is projected to a small time interval in the falling frame?
