Next, are the verses that made me consider this evidence pretty seriously:
1- Hell is a place where inmate "neither live" nor "die":
Quote:Sura 35, The Quran:
https://quran.com/35:36?store=false&translations=
As for the disbelievers, they will have the Fire of Hell, where they will not be ˹allowed to be˺ finished by death, nor will its torment be lightened for them. This is how We reward every ˹stubborn˺ disbeliever.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
I am afraid you're taking these beautiful rhetorical devices too literally. Hell inmates not being able to live means that the conditions are too unbearable to allow any form of enjoyment, as if they weren't alive.
The Qur'an repeatedly states that there is no death in the afterlife.

Well, some verses of the Qur'an strongly challenge your theory :
It has seven gates, to each a group of them is designated.” (15:44)
Hell has seven gates. It's simply unreasonable to say a black hole may somewhat contain seven gates inside it. A black hole is simply a point in spacetime where gravity is very strong. There is nothiing more to it to justify any theological speculation.
The Qur'an stresses upon the belief in the unseen:
who believe in the unseen,1 establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them (2:3)
The unseen may mean, in modern terms, any realm that is inaccessible to our senses, and whose existence was only revealed to us through prophets, that's it. The existence of hell is simply revealed to us in scripture.
