"Singularity" is a term from Math. It means something that you can get as close to
as you want, but you can never get exactly there, because when you're exactly
there, something about it becomes either infinite or zero.
If present hypotheses explaining black holes are correct, then:
-- A black hole has a large mass but occupies only a point.
-- Its radius, diameter, length, width, height, area, and volume are all zero.
-- Since it has mass but no volume, its mass is finite, but its density is infinite.
-- Since the black hole exists only at a single point, any other mass can be any distance
from it, no matter how small, just as long as the distance isn't zero. And since the mutual
force of gravitational attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to the
distance between them, the force between a black hole and any other mass can be
anything imaginable, no matter how large, and it can get as close to infinite force
as you want it to.

∙ 11y ago"Singularity" is the word that mathematicians give to a mathematical function which, at some point, stops behaving in an expected fashion; when we plot this on a graph, there are sharp jumps or breaks. If that happens, we can no longer rely on the function.
Our mathematical models of black holes have this sort of mathematical singularity and we can't count on our mathematical models to give reasonable results for that area.

Is a black hole know as a singularity?
No the singularity is at the core of the black hole.
What is in the middle of a black hole?
In the middle of a black hole, there is a single point of matter called a singularity. This is where space-time actually stops and nothing is beyond this point. Anything and everything that gets sucked up in the black hole goes here.
What is the radius of a black hole singularity?
If it had a radius, then it wouldn't be a singularity. The event-horizon surrounding a black hole has a radius, which depends on the black hole's mass. But the singularity itself has no radius.
What is the singularity inside a black hole?
All black holes have a singularity at their center. A singularity in a black hole is a location where the density of matter is infinite, at such a location physics equations give incomprehensible nonsense answers. (singularities occur in pure mathematics also, where for various reasons usable answers cannot be obtained from the equations: e.g. singular matrices)in Static and Charged black holes this singularity is an infinitesimal point.in Rotating black holes this singularity is a rapidly spinning ring.
The center of a black hole is called a?
The center of a black hole, a locus of infinite density where matter is compressed into zero volume, is called a 'singularity.'
Is a black hole known as a singularity?
No, they are not the same. A singularity would be inside a black hole.
What is present inside a black hole?
It is impossible to know what is present inside a black hole, though it is theorized that a singularity is located at its centre.

No the singularity is at the core of the black hole.

What is at the center of the black hole?
A singularity is at the centre of a black hole.
Where will you go if you fall in to a black hole?
Into the black hole's singularity.
Does a black hole have mass?
No, a black hole definitely does not have infinite mass. In some mathematical models, there is an object called a singularity, inside a black hole, which has infinite density. That is not the same as infinite mass. If a finite mass is contained in zero volume, then the density becomes infinite. We do not have any real confirmation that such a thing as a singularity or an infinite density actually exist, but they may.
