My understanding of string theory is that the strings are wrapped around the surface of the black hole. So in this view nothing can go down into the interior it just gets wrapped around the event horizon.

This raises the question of what happens when someone falls into a nice big black hole where the tidal forces at the horizon are small and you might think you could just cruise on through and down into the interior. However, from the point of view of an external observer no one ever gets there they just get slower and slower. From the point of view of the fallee however it takes a finite time to get to the horizon. Flip this around though and from the point of view of the fallee the external universe rushes off to infinite time - end of the universe whatever - in the time it takes to get to the event horizon. Now anything that comes in from the external universe will arrive at the event horizon at near light speed, this includes stuff like the micro-wave background which will be incoming as gamma rays and Hawking radiation from near the event horizon which will be similalrly coming in hard and energetic.

The conclusion from this seems to be that any one falling into an event horizon will be fried and turned into subatomic particles or strings before they get there. This is just a thought experiment and I would be fascinated to hear from any astrophysiscists out there who understand what would really happen.

This also implies that the simulation is somewhat misleading.
