What does Singularity mean?
In: Physics
A singularity is a mathematical term where a point is not defined or a point where the mathematical object ceases to be well-behaved in some particular way. Usually it applies to a point where a function goes to infinity. The function 1/x has a singularity at x=0.
So you’ll have to be more specific in what exactly you are asking for. Are you asking about Black Hole singularities? That’s the point where all the mass of a black hole is infinitely concentrated (hence, why we call it a singularity). Or are you perhaps asking about AI concept of The Singularity. This is point in our technological development where our technology is capable of advancing itself faster than we can on our own, thus creating an “infinite” explosion in technological progress no longer controlled or understood by ourselves.
