Not so fast, we don't know that a black hole has a singularity. It's more like, the math divided by zero, and we shrugged, and went, well, I guess that doesn't work.
That's what a singularity is. It's literally a maths term for an undefined point in a function.
When the math says you divide by zero, that means we don't know what happens there. It does not mean there's a singularity, it means the math we have for that breaks down in those situations.
