: what is singularity?

I watched a short video, where the guy said that everything that goes inside black hole becomes singularity.

But I can’t comprehend or visualize what singularity actually is?

A singularity is the equivalent of old maps’ Here Be Dragons. Simply: the math people can’t figure it out yet, and they can’t make sense of the math at a certain point. Then they invent this nice name to hide the fact that they know nothing about it. So there may be pink elephants in singularities that we simply are too stupid to figure out.

These things happen in math all the time. For example, people just know taking the square root of a negative number doesn’t make sense, until someone figured it out

One day we may figure out the singularity inside a black hole, but right now nobody really know whats there.
