If 2 parallel lines fall into a black hole, will the meet (or intersect)? Since black hole squeeze space and time together, I think that the parallel line will eventually meet.
You don't need something as exotic as black holes - 2 parallel lines on the equator of the earth will meet at the poles. It's a result of the earth's positively curved geometry.

Parallel lines only exist in Euclidean space. There is no concept of black holes in Euclidean space. The squeezing of space and time has not been defined in that space.
By definition, parallel lines never meet. Your hypothetical question is not possible to answer.

In the case of lines intesecting at the poles, then they wernt really parallel in the first place.
The very definition of "parallel" means that they dont intersect

You're right, but i was trying to explain it simply and perhaps muddled my terms - i meant 2 lines on the equator that initially appeared to be parallel - ie 2 lines at right angles to the equator.
