Non-classical mechanics includes things like quantum physics and (depending on who you ask) special relativity. They feel extremely counterintuitive but they provide pretty reliable explanations for how things work. That infinite density doesn't make sense in our regular understanding of the world doesn't necessarily mean it's not a useful model. That doesn't mean it's necessarily true, of course, but the fact that it seems weird isn't really important. It might just be that physics inside a black hole permit for something that we can best describe as infinitely dense
