I don't know a lot of advanced physics or quantum mechanics, but black holes also confuse me.

I would imagine that black holes show the limit of modern physics, there are still things to learn, and models of physics will probably be adjusted in the future.

I guess there are physicists who are able to predict how a black hole works and appears, and how it can be explained, but I haven't read about it.

I mean, yeah there's tons of theoretical work. Predictions about lensing and structure have been done and verified. We've taken pictures of black holes. Susskind did a big fancy simulation for Interstellar that lined up great with them.

my guess, in short, is that black holes are equivalent to infinite loops, and white holes solve the halting problem

What does that even mean?

That's quite a wild guess.
