As Earth was pulled down the gravity well of this dead star, our relative time would become increasingly faster compared to the rest of the universe. From our vantage point the time of the rest of the universe would slow down and all but stop, while we would experience millions of years of time passing relative to the rest of space. It would be like that episode of <3, Death, & Robots with the freezer civilization. We'd probably come up with FTL travel before our people could be turned into cosmic spaghetti, and be able to escape the Black Hole's event horizon.

Might wanna read up on how this would actually work, because you're completely wrong.

You have that backwards.

To us time would not change. From inside looking out, everything would be going insanely fast. Outside looking in, it would look like time stopped.

An example would be like in the movie Interstellar. Each hour was equal to 7 years, except it would be much more pronounced since in the movie they are just in close orbit, not actually inside.
