Well, quite simply, I know enough about physics and quantum physics to know that I know very little... Taking this into consideration, I won't post any theories or philosophies on the matter; however I will comment on what you wrote.
[edit: excuse the stupidity of the next paragraph. I was being a moron yesterday.]
One of the things that stood out is that you called a black whole a "singularity." A black hole is just a really huge star. So big, in fact, that light cannot escape it's immense gravitational field. Stephen Hawking actually believes (and thinks that he has proven that) there are subatomic particles with such a tiny mass that they actually do escape the gravitational field, but I'll not speak about that.
If we are to trust Einstein and his theories, then time is relative to the speed of light, thus time must be a form of motion, just as a letter cannot be proportional to a number, unless you make a conversion into binary or hexadecimal (I see no reason to go the extra mile to hexadecimal, but I said it, so I'm sticking by it), but that is artificial; humans made different binary values equal different things: sounds, colors, etc, but I'm quickly digressing, so I'll stop speaking of binary.
Now, if time is proportional to the speed of light, and if matter-energy truly does exist, then there is a way to turn time into something tangible. The equation, I suppose, won't be much different from Einstein's e=m(c squared)[(there's no way of writing a "c" squared ^_^)]
Regardless, Einstein's theory only works for the material plane (as opposed to the astral plane, among others, I suppose), if people in their astral selves travel at ultralight speeds without time's slowing. Or, mayhap, they travel seconds, if not minutes, into the past without knowing. This would, in fact, prove Einstein's theory and open a new branch of science, a sub-category of Physics, I assume.
Now, I myself haven't AP'ed yet, but from my reading and my studying I gleaned that people do travel at speeds that are vastly larger than the speed of light. Taking into consideration the differences between the astral and material planes, our laws of Physics might not apply to the Astral plane, but if this is the case, then time in the Astral plane would be either non-existent or skewed, compared to our own time. This would mean that when people AP, they would either return to their bodies at the exact instant that they left or they would come back to their body at a seemingly random time. Neither of which I have heard or read of, thus Einstein's theory is almost discredited. (I am not ruling out that I am young and stupid yet, so I might be incorrect in my assessments.)
Now, coming back to the topic of "time." Quantum physics, in its most fundamental form, states that everything is a possibility. I am typing on my keyboard because I know it's there and because I know that when I push a key, it will depress and a character will appear in the little text box on my monitor. All of this, of course, means that if one believes in something enough, it will happen. Now, this is borderline Psychology, of which I will not speak now, and thus this statement is semi-irrelevant.
Now, if I recall correctly, in quantum physics matter is said to be constantly exchanging various forms of quanta (energy). Photons are a quanta that I distinctly remember speaking with my tutor of (he was a good Physics teacher, even though I didn't have him for that subject). Another thing I remember is that the electron actually curves and stretches space-time (sorta like matter-energy, but I'll not go into that now.). This distortion is caused because the electron moves at the speed of light, and, as Einstein said, once can't actually get to the speed of light. Eventually you would get close to 99.999% the speed of light, and time would theoretically slow to such an extent that you would be nearly two dimensional. Regardless, if time would continue to slow in such a fashion, then the speed of light cannot be achieved. Let's make an example:
You are in a car traveling half the speed of light (approximately 90,000 mps); this speed is constant. If you threw a ball or a frisbee, for example, and it left your hand and traveled at a constant speed of 10 mph, relative to you, someone looking into the car, hypothetically, would see that this ball was traveling at 1/6 + 90,000 mps. So something close to 90,000.167mps. Now, what if you were traveling at the same speed, but you turned on a flashlight? The light would, in relation to you, be moving at 180,000 mps (approx.). and to the observer looking into the car? What would he see? Light traveling at 1.5 times the speed of light? Many experiments and theories which have been proven say "nay!" Light travels at a constant speed, no matter the circumstances. You might be thinking, "What the hell? velocity is distance/time... If adding the two velocities (90,000 mps and 180,000 mps; the speed you are traveling and the speed that light travels, respectively) isn't a fair judge of how fast the light travels at, then distance and time must change!" It's alright if you didn't think that, really, since I'm semi-knowledgeable and I had to put an "You must be thinking to yourself..." thing in there ^_^... Regardless, that would mean that the closer something got to the speed of light, the more distance and time must distort. This all has to do with space-time (the relationship that I have just shown to you) and matter-energy (the relationship that e=mc squared shows you), and I haven't the time to explain either to any reasonable extent.
Alright, now taking this newly acquired knowledge and implementing it... if light is going at 180,000 mps, then the equation would look something like [180,000 = 180,000 miles/1 second]; which is fairly obvious. But this is relative to you, inside the moving vehicle. To an observer, from outside, they would see the light moving at the same speed, but both cannot be true at the same time. Light cannot move in two speeds at the same time, in fact it can only move at one constant speed no matter what, so, what is the answer to this enigma? Special relativity. I've already gotten into it before. Basically, space-time warps. The car would become thinner and everything in it would move slower. So time, for you, the traveler inside the car, would slow down, though you wouldn't notice.
Well, I'm done rambling; hopefully I made SOME point somewhere in there. It definitely got me thinking, though, and I thank you for that.
I don't even remember what I'm replying to at this point ^_^. Sorry for the possibly severely off-topic response.
