Yes, as no singularity can be observed, mathematical formulation is the only way to model it.

Is a black hole know as a singularity?

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


Why is the inside of a black hole called a singularity?

"Singularity" is a term from Math. It means something that you can get as close toas you want, but you can never get exactly there, because when you're exactlythere, 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 distancefrom it, no matter how small, just as long as the distance isn't zero. And since the mutualforce of gravitational attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to thedistance between them, the force between a black hole and any other mass can beanything imaginable, no matter how large, and it can get as close to infinite forceas you want it to.


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.


What is an event horizon in black holes?

Our understanding of physics and its mathematical foundations break down - they make no sense at all - in the realms of the very large and very fast. In mathematical terms, the density of matter in a black hole becomes infinite, and we cannot interpret what that means. We call this, the place where our mathematics breaks down, a "singularity". At a vaguely-knowable distance of the singularity, our math once again makes sense, and this distance is called the "event horizon". The size of the event horizon - the limits of what we can know and observe - is related to the mass of the black hole.

Is Big Bang and singularity possible?

The Big Bang almost certainly did occur.A singularity, on the other hand - whether it is the singularity of the Big Bang, or the singularity in a black hole - probably indicates that something is incomplete in our current understanding of physics.


How large is a singularity galaxy size vs mini black holes?

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.


Why is .33 in the formula of volume for a cone?

It is 1/3, not 0.33 which is an approximation. The derivation of this formula requires knowledge of integration. For basic mathematical details follow the link below.

One Group is the Singularity Institute.


What objects mass is 0?

A mathematical point or singularity is an object with zero mass and volume but infinite density. It is a theoretical concept used in physics to represent an infinitesimally small but massive point.

If theoretically in the centre of black holes there's a singularity and the big bang formed from a singularity Are there any theories suggesting that these two things are related?

In drawing a mathematical curve, the point of a sudden change is called a "singularity"; it means that the math at that point doesn't give an answer that makes sense.At our current understanding of physics, the math doesn't make sense for gravity that is so intense that not even light can escape. We cannot describe in mathematical terms what is going on there, and we use the term "event horizon" to denote that area of space around the singularity where we cannot calculate what is happening.The Bing Bang is also an area where the math doesn't seem to make sense; hence, a "singularity". But it isn't the same kind of singularity, or at least, we don't THINK it is the same.However, in a very real sense, they are the same; we're saying "I don't know". It would be nice if physics and math had all the answers - but it doesn't. There is more yet to learn that all that the human race has ever learned until now.
