Nothing near a black hole breaks physics. And I’d argue that outside what the heck is singularity really breaks physics as we know it.
Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole?

We don’t know. Forces in and near black holes break physics. There is tons of speculation, but speculation is all there is.

We knew they existed before we found them, because of maths, andthe math actually gets us pretty far. It’s the singularity in the center, or past the event horizon that we can’t know about, because reality is shy like that. It boggles my mind that we were able to look around and say “hey guys, I’ve been measuring stuff, like how fast things fall down, and well, you’re not gonna believe this.”

We literally took pictures of supermassive black holes, can see black holes eating stars, have the math figured out pretty well and we can see black hole collisions with gravitational wave detectors due to their rippling effect on the fabric of our space-time.
