how can a singularity have infinite density?

Question

For one, wouldn’t that mean they have a volume of zero? how does that work?

Answer 1

They don’t. However, they have enough gravity to break the atomic bonds and pack sub-atomic particles even tighter together than any atomic-sized matter can get naturally. So in effect they are denser than any other measurable matter. And since sub-subatomic particles haven’t been discovered yet, it’s just called infinite to make it easier to visualize.
