then how do we on the outside know accurately
how much mass fell in??.... what you are saying does not explain how the black holes mass is kept... if all information was lost as you say then we could not measure how much had fallen in..which we can so even tho we are told everything you have been saying i stand by the fact that information about the mass must be retained in the singularity.... or a black holes mass would not relate to what the hole has inside it...

dcl: Once a mass ihas fallen past the event horizon of a black hole, it falls all the way into the singularity, where it is compressed into a dimensionless point. Any information that it may have contained is destroyed by that final process.

if this was the case you would not be able to measure the mass that has fallen in as that information would have been lost...which it is not is it?
