We don't know. He does. He's a genius.

Perhaps, but I have found that I can very often use a chroot jail when some would use a virtual machine. It takes more knowledge to set up, but generally performs better and can interact with applications on the native platform.

That's only for small black holes. For large black holes like the one at the center of our galaxy, the tidal forces are small near the event horizon.
