Is there any evidence for time dilation though? My 1000 years number is a rough guess, and it could be shorter or even longer than that. I was thinking since physics breaks down that you would have to endure being spaghettified whilst still being able to feel and have nerves intact and thinking capacity.

Relativity means time slows down for an observer, not for the observed. You would see the universe around you rapidly speed up and eventually die.

For an outside observer it might seem like a long time, but not for you.
