Black holes are regions in space characterized by gravitational fields so intense that no matter or radiation can escape from them. They are solutions to Einstein's field equations, with a point of unphysical infinite density ...
Does time exist? The answer to this question may seem obvious: of course it does! Just look at a calendar or a clock.
