Actually we can apply the known laws of physics to give a good description of what will happen from the point of view of the inertial frame in question right up until we hit the singularity. >Actually, it's true that you wouldn't notice passing the event >horizon, but that's only because you would have been ripped to shreds >by tidal forces some distance away.
