He just didn’t understand the gravity of the situation.

    Because from his current position in space, it will be thousands of years before it crushes him.

      I’m not 100% sure, but I think that’s relative time. If he’s caught on its gravitational well, I think he’d just fall in real time from his perspective.

        True, but from his current perspective, time would pass more slowly as he got closer to the event horizon. From his changing perspective, it would just happen in real time, but the perspective he leaves behind would slow down.

    Because he had waited his entire current existence for this moment, knowing this is when he would travel through the black hole and be spit out into an alternate timeline where he would go back and find his younger self in this primary timeline to let him know he must qualify to be an astronaut so he could go to space and find this black hole so he could make sure he went back to find himself in the primary timeline so there would be no paradoxes and he could maintain the infinite loop of existence
