Singularity at center of black hole from "summary" of A Breif History of Time and the Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking

In the heart of a black hole lies a point known as the singularity – a place where the laws of physics as we know them break down. At this singularity, matter is crushed to infinite density and space-time curves infinitely, leading to a point of infinite curvature. It is a point of no return, where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape its clutches. The concept of a singularity at the center of a black hole raises many questions about the nature of our universe. It challenges our understanding of physics and forces us to confront the limits of our knowledge. How can matter be compressed to infinite density? What happens to the laws of physics in such extreme conditions? These are questions that have puzzled scientists for decades. One possible explanation for the singularity at the center of a black hole is that it represents a breakdown in our current understanding of the universe. Perhaps our theories of gravity and space-time are incomplete, and we need a...
