You cant. Nothing escapes the gravity of a black hole. Not light, not energy, not even time.

Its shooting stuff at us. Or, rather, has been for 657 million years and its just taken that long for the light to reach us.

Actually, the current model treats them as such! A spinning black hole is treated like a ring with 0 radius, and a non-spinning one is treated as a point.
The laws of physics break down within a black hole. Time and space literally reverse.

A black hole's event horizon is spherical, yes. But some black holes rotate, and thus have a top and bottom. The article is saying that the top or bottom is facing us.

It's (conceptually) very easy to travel forward in time faster than normal.
It's impossible to travel backwards in time.

That is not how stars are made. A black hole is a star corpse.
