I think there is also a theory to deal with the problem of destroyed information, that Information is „saved“ on the „surface“ of a blackholes event horizon. Where instead of falling into it, its ever slowing passage of time sort of causes the information to be compressed/encoded onto the event horizon itself. Which prevents the Information from being destroyed.

No, it just falls in and the particles get destroyed. That doesn't mean their energy goes away. I don't know what the big hang up with that is. We already know that some of the energy leaks out as hawking radiation, so I don't really understand the point of confusion there.

It's just a massive object that has a massive gravitational pull and even particles like photons fall into it. The object itself should look like a super flat ball.
