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?
In: Physics
A singularity is when a mathematical function aproaches infinity. Like a division by zero(if you plot it on a graph – f(x)= 1/x), if you aproach it from the positive number side it aproaches infinity, if you aproach it from the negative side it goes to negative infinity. At exactly zero you have a singularity.
Its not clear if this is a thing that can even exist in our real world. The border to a black hole is not a singularity uts te event horizon, the border that we can never see behind. The actual singularity of a black hole would be a point in the center, but we dont know if thats actualy there. Its just that the graph you plot to show spacetime has a mathematical sungularity at that point if you use Einsteins formula for it.
What this most likeley means is just that te math is wrong.
