I understand that it is from a close observers point of view where time slows down, but its still mind boggling.

....to reach the actual centre (singularity) it's even greater - the time taken is approximately in the vicinity of infinity give or take a few trillion years.
(as far as questioning the formula - well you should question absolutely everything in the religion of Physics before you arrive at your own conclusions concerning reality. There are holes all over the place in the Holy Book of Physics - especially
The Book of Quantum,
verse 6:11)
