The way I understood it way back when I was taking basic physics in college was thus (simplified): Time for the particle at relativistic speeds / gravities moves slower compared to a far away observer unbound by such influences. Like the twin siblings paradox. So a particle past the event horizon of a black hole would basically cease to experience time, but if we could see it, it would move otherworldly fast into it.
