This plane of infinite size would have to reside in some existence, and as you said, the rock exists inside of the plane. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it no longer exists. I can't see the back of my head, but I'm pretty sure it exists. Although the matter of the rock is infinitely dispersed, it hasn't been destroyed. In the case of the singularity, even if everything in the universe was consumed by it, the singularity would still have to exist in some framework. There cannot be something in nothing.

You're not getting it. If a finite mass resides in an infinite space, it is infinitely insubstantial. It no longer exists in the sense we think of. Our physical definitions of existence are not adequate for the extremes in the universe, only for states of matter that we can observe that are very close to our own.

Likewise for the singularity. No physicist can step through the singularity and theorize what things look like on the other side because the conventional laws of physics (and thus, the laws of all matter and energy) break down at that point. "I don't know" is the best explanation and anyone who says otherwise is a self-important assclown.
