What is a cosmological singularity?

Answer 1

Singularity is when strong AI occurs everything will be possible thanks to that AI. It will improve itself recursively until it is the ultimate intelligence and influences the world in the best possible way. It will be greater than in Futurama. We will be immortal and continually evolving, expanding throughout the universe. Experts think it could only take about 9 years, when we really really try. But a more realistic date for Strong AI is about the 2040's or 2050's. See more on the page of the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence -> www.singinst.org. Universal Darwinian algorithm applies to all replicators. The gene machine is a replicator and was the cause of all life on earth with the exception of Homo Sapien Sapien. When our ancestors were able to mimic each other a new replicator was born and humans evolved with two replicators (gene machines and meme machines) in a symbiotic relationship giving rise to large brains and language. Soon a third type of replicator will evolve 'techno-memes machines' or 'teme machines' also known as Artificial intelligence. Each replicator is faster than the previous and the universal darwinian algorithm evolves at an exponential rate (check moores law). The time period when the rate of evolution is too fast for meme machines to keep up with the teme machines is the phenomenological singularity. There is a gradual merging of biological and non biological life and the resulting posthumans exists at new evlutionary level. Probably much more advance to us than we are to mice.

Answer 2

Actually the cosmological singularity is the center from which our universe is expanding.

Note: While there is no physical (geometric) center of the universe, there is an evolving dimensional centricity from which there is an unfolding of SpaceTime into varying evolutionary conditions. It is not a center which can be viewed, or even measured, as its very reality is subject of debate. As described in 'The Evolutioning of Creation' and elsewhere, our reality in existence is the persistence of an influence to and from center within a dimensional measure of universal being. Thus the notion of a universal singularity is derived, not from its focus of centricity, but from within its ambit of containment. Consequently the center of our universe is not a fixed geometric location in Space, but rather a fixed condition in Time: e.g. the cosmological singularity. And these are the conditions of our universal creation, duration, and termination.

Answer 3

A cosmological singularity refers to an infinitely dense and infinitely small point in space-time, such as the beginning of the universe in the Big Bang theory or the center of a black hole. At a singularity, the known laws of physics break down, making it a point of infinite curvature and energy.
