Black Hole: Singularity




If you've read the previous blogs about black holes, you know that the singularity is what the event horizon hides from view. It is the point where all laws of physics break down. Why?

Because a massive amount of mass is contained in an infinitely small space. It is the smallest object in the universe and one of the heaviest objects in the universe, and also my most favourite object in the universe, after dumplings.

A singularity has only one dimension, and all the matter that passes the event horizon gets compressed into it. So, all the information that entered the black hole is contained in the singularity. But it is invisible. To observe anything, we need light or any other wave to reflect off of it. Even if we could send a light wave to the singularity, the escape velocity for a black hole is so high that not even the fastest object in the universe, can escape from it.

To perfectly explain and discover singularities, it is proposed that a physical equation combining quantum physics and general relativity is needed, a theory of everything. More about it in the upcoming blogs.

That's it about singularities in sixty seconds, thank you for reading.
