      The honest answer is nobody knows as nobody has done it! The gravity pulls in EVERYTHING, even light. Time is all relative in that it is compared with another place.
      You should read ‘A Brief History of Time’, you’d love it!

      A black hole will “drag” space-time. This means that as you get close to the black hole, you will start to orbit, while falling towards it, similar to water going down a drain.
