Do Black Holes have infinite Gravity Well?

A black hole is formed by the collapse of a star after it burns out all its hydrogen that produced energy, or just enough to create an imbalance between the inward gravitational energy and the outward force energy produced while the star is burning. The size of the black hole depends on the total mass that has collapsed. When a black hole is formed, the mass density of the burnt out star abruptly increases, as the black hole is extremely small compared to the star before the collapse.
The black hole wanders off in space owing to the gravitational attraction from different other super massive objects like other black holes of larger size. On its path the black hole would devour all matter it comes across. By accumulating mass in time, the black hole becomes larger and larger.
It is a tug of war between black holes, with the larger black holes devouring the smaller ones continuously gathering mass. When two black holes of comparable size and mass density meet each other, they start circling each other, resulting from the torque that creates rotation or circling of the two black holes around the common center of gravity. They behave like a rotating dumbbell, except that this dumbbell is of black hole size mass. While this dance of the two peer-level black holes continue, they gradually approach each other, finally to merge creating a big gravitational wave. The LIGO and VIRGO laboratories recently detected the gravitational waves from such merger of black holes.
The Perfect Black Hole
The black holes do have such high gravitational force that they not only tear apart any matter that crosses its event horizon, and also even light. That is why the black holes are not visible. The gravity well model is one of a very deep and steep profile that suddenly plummets to its bottom. However, the gravity well is not infinitely deep. The center of the black hole is not a geometrical point, as it is made to believe in most research material and articles in the media. If a black hole would have an infinitely deep, and bottomless gravity well, it would strictly and instantly disappear from this universe, not just only black with extreme gravity enough to swallow any light crossing its event horizon. Another way to interpret an infinitely deep and steep gravity well subtended by a black hole is that the steepness and depth so much that the bottom end of the black hole would be smaller in size than a Planck’s scale. In addition, any object or light falling into such a hypothetical infinitely deep and steep will take less than the Planck’s time to fall in to the bottom of the Planck’s scale. Any black hole even slightly short of that Planck’s space and time scale is not a perfect black hole.
It is also important to note that black holes move or wander in space, thus creating a black hole size gravity valley. A black hole meeting the Planck scale test will only disappear from the universe and for any observer. Any black hole that moves fails the Planck’s scale test, as it creates a trace of a gravity valley, and surely will have dimensions not meeting the Planck’s test. Here, I have defined with characterization and test for what I term as a “Perfect Black Hole”.
I recommend creating a rating or grading schema for black holes, as to their mass, mass density, gravity well profile and gravity valley profile. After the observation of many black holes, a statistically significant number of the black holes, using LIGO, VIRGO and other laboratories to be constructed in the future, the rating scheme could be used, validated for the efficacy of the rating schema, and developing a statistical distribution with tables, charts and graphs.
The big bang was probably a perfect hole in another universe, that pierced into our universe.
