Singularity: Where Physics Breaks Down

A singularity is a point where gravity becomes infinite and known physics fails.
At the center of a black hole, density is thought to be infinite.
Einstein’s general relativity predicts singularities but cannot explain their true nature.
Time and space as we understand them cease to function at a singularity.
The event horizon hides the singularity, keeping it out of direct view.
Some theories suggest singularities may not truly exist but signal gaps in our models.
Quantum gravity is needed to fully describe what happens at a singularity.
The Big Bang itself may have begun with a singularity-like state.
In rotating black holes, singularities might be stretched into rings instead of points.
Singularities remain one of science’s greatest mysteries, sitting at the edge of knowledge.
