I mean time slows down near a black hole due to the extremely strong gravitational field of the black hole. Given the theory of general relativity this is due to the gravity curving literally everything around it in a way that affects our ability to measure time and space.

So I mean technically things exist for a longer period of time than we can truly process because either we accept that there's a distortion and our technology hasn't advanced enough or that time is inherently slower there and things entering a black hole entered it long before we even know it entered.

To answer the latter question (someone else may have already answered it) "As black holes gobble up the matter in their surroundings, they also spit out powerful jets of hot plasma containing electrons and positrons, the antimatter equivalent of electrons. Just before those lucky incoming particles reach the event horizon, or the point of no return, they begin to accelerate. Moving at close to the speed of light, these particles ricochet off the event horizon and get hurled outward along the black hole's axis of rotation."
