    Ok, so even if it “falls down”, it will probably evaporate way before it even reaches the center. Even if it doesn’t, it will be take A VERY LONG TIME for it to get big enough to eat the planet out or whatever.

    It is very VERY difficult to make something fall inside a black hole. Mostly, stuff just zooms right past it at incredible speeds.

    The earth would be consumed by the sun way before it gets consumed by a black hole.

      You’re talking at scales where the incoming mass has a lot of velocity already. In a stationary frame of reference, the matter would more than likely fall directly in since there isn’t an appreciable amount of rotational momentum involved like there is at stellar sizes.
