How do you know black hole is singularity and why is believed that things fall through it. Maybe it is only a ball with enormous mass or gravity that even light can not escape?

We know that there is a singularity at the heart of a black hole based on observation and calculation, but it is also known that things don't fall throught it. Instead, objects fall into it and can't escape, due to the large amount of gravity produced by the singularity.


Where did the dense singularity originate that existed before the Big Bang?

In a universe model, the term 'where' in context of a singularity has no meaning. Our understanding of spacial geometry, which we use to estimate where we are, depends upon our positional relationship to our known universe. But if the universe is infinitessimally small, then there is no measurement of position, because everything is in the same place..In a multiverse model, in which there are several universes coexisting in adjacent parcels of space at the same time, then the term 'where' is definable, but not measurable. In this case, we could say that the singularity is so many billion/trillion/quadrillion light years from the next closest universe, but we have no means of measuring distances that large.


Why does relativity theory break down at a singularity?

Distance reduces to zero, volume reduces to zero, density increases to infinity. This makes the equations unsolvable.


Does anything break the laws of physics?

I can't think of an instance. I'm pretty sure that they make sure that when they make it a law and no longer a theory, its because its 100% true all the time actually the point known as the singularity in a black hole is where laws of physics do break down at least with the current set of physical laws a new theory will have to be created to understand, express, and predict what happens and what will have happened at this singularity


What has no mass and doesn't take up space?

A mathematical point in space has no dimensions therefore takes up no space. Certain particles have no rest mass but have the energy equivalent because of the velocity they possess. A singularity is a theoretical no volume point but has a huge mass.

A true mathematical singularity is a point, with dimensions of zero.A singularity is a finite mass in zero volume. If it has any length, width, height,or radius, then it may be enormously dense, but it's not a singularity.You're right. I don't understand it either. But that's how it works.

What is the first dot in the big bang theory?

Hypotheses vary. A popular hypothesis is that the universe originated in a geometrical singularity: a literally immeasurable geometrical point without a size of any kind. There seem to be counterindications to this notion, however, from the field of quantum mechanics, which indicate that the singularity may not have been of zero-size after all.
