The real problem with black hole physics is that it relies on unknown conditions and hence is all conjecture. I don't know if you have read any of my posts, but with the amount of mass that can be stacked up as a neutron star then there may be nothing like a black hole at all. There will still be enough condensed matter to prevent light from escaping but it doesn't have to mean normal neutron star physics won't apply. Even if the amount of mass present exceeds the compression limit of particulate matter and is enough to prevent further accumulation as a neutron star, there is still the likelihood that the matter decomposes and loses the ability to create mass and gravity. In essence, there is a good possibility that the compaction of matter is finite. Gravity would cease to increase and all the matter would be turned into magnetic energy lines of force. Supermassive 'black holes' would be like electro-magnetic dynamos where the force of the magnetism would extend much farther than the event horizon and show a force even greater than the gravitational force of the 'hole'. The energy that could be tapped from a source like this would be enormous and much easier to devise than a gravitationally dependent one.
