Singularity
A singularity is a region of space where the curvature of spacetime becomes infinite. Due to the cosmic censorship conjecture, most singularities are hidden behind event horizons.

Definition: singularity: In astronomy, a term often used to refer to the center of a black hole, where the curvature of spacetime is maximal.
Naked singularity
In general relativity, a naked singularity is a gravitational singularity without an event horizon.
At a singularity, space and time cease to exist as we know them. The laws of physics as we know them break down at a singularity, so it's not really possible to envision something with infinite density and zero volume.
singularity
a point at which space and time are infinitely distorted, such as the central point of a black hole where matter is concentrated into an area of zero volume and infinite density

singularity A point in the universe where the density of matter and the gravitational field are infinite, such as at the center of a black hole.
SINGULARITY - Regions of space where the density of matter, or the curvature of space-time, becomes infinite and the concepts of space and time cease to have any meaning.
SINGULARITY
A singularity is a point in space-time at which the density of matter and the gravitational field are infinite (forming a black hole).
Singularity
(a) Anomaly in space-time at which a state not in accord with the classical laws of physics obtains. An example is a black hole; another is the moment of the big bang.

singularity
The center of a black hole, where the curvature of spacetime is maximal. At the singularity, the gravitational tides diverge; no solid object can even theoretically survive hitting the singularity.
singularity
The hypothetical condition of a black hole. It is a point of mass which has infinite density.
solar eclipse
An eclipse which occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, blocking its light in either a partial or total eclipse.
Singularity
The object of zero radius into which the matter of a black hole is believed to fall.

Singularity
At the center of the black hole, well inside the event horizon, general relativity predicts a singularity, a place where the curvature of spacetime becomes infinite and gravitational forces become infinitely strong.

Singularity theory
In mathematics, singularity theory is the study of the failure of manifold structure. A loop of string can serve as an example of a one-dimensional manifold, if one neglects its width....

Singularity
A black hole's center, where the matter is thought to be infinitely dense, the volume is infinitely small, and the force of gravity is infinitely large.

Singularity: In classical general relativity, a location at which physical quantities such as density become infinite. A singularity lies at the center of a black hole.
The singularity in a non-rotating, uncharged black hole is a point, in other words it has zero length, width and height.
At the point of singularity the effects of Einstein's general theory of relativity become paramount. According to this theory, space becomes curved in the vicinity of matter; the greater the concentration of matter, the greater the curvature.
The Big Bang was a singularity in space and time"an instant when the present laws of physics say the universe had zero size and infinite temperature and density.

This means that the mass has to be crushed down to an infinitely small point - a singularity, which has no size but does have a measurable mass.
The crushing weight of constituent matter falling in from all sides compresses the dying star to a point of zero volume and infinite density called the singularity.
The black hole's mass is concentrated in a point of almost infinite density called a singularity. At the singularity itself, gravity is almost infinitely strong, so it crushes normal space-time out of existence.
We call the center of a black hole a singularity. Naively, it has zero radius and infinite density. However, a more accurate statement is that we do not know the physical laws that govern the singularity and we have no idea what happens there.
All of its matter and energy were squished into an infinitely small point, a singularity. The laws of physics which applied at that instant are not understood at all.
The star will not stop shrinking when a few miles across, but its entire mass will continue to collapse into a point with no volume called a "singularity" or as it has been come to be called - a black hole.
The object would become a "black hole" in space, the mass collapsing in on itself forever to form a "singularity". Such objects could result from the explosive collapse of very large stars.

[You can work this out from the mass of the black hole and the radius of its event horizon; this assumes that all of the matter is distributed within the entire event horizon, not just in the singularity.]

Its popularity is due to its hot- star status, its luminosity, the clarity of its spectrum caused by slow rotation, and its singularity. Unlike many stars of its kind, Tau seems distinctly single, with no evidence at all of any companion.

left after all other mass-loss processes exceeds the limit that even neutron degeneracy pressure can withstand. At this stage then the material keeps collapsing inwards until all the mass becomes concentrated at a single point, a singularity.
