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.
A singularity is a theoretical point in the center of a black hole where matter is infinitely dense and gravitational forces are infinitely strong. It is considered a point of zero size, as all known physical laws break down at the singularity.
Black holes are made up of a super dense core called a singularity, surrounded by an event horizon. The singularity is thought to contain all the mass of the black hole, but it is not made of matter as we know it. Instead, it is a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down.
Objects like neutron stars and black holes have some of the highest densities in the Universe. Neutron stars are incredibly dense remnants of massive stars, while black holes have infinite density at their center known as a singularity.
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.

Most scientists believe that an infinite dense singularity existed before the incident known as the Big Bang.
Otherwise known as a Black Hole
The very hot and dense point from which the Big Bang emerged is called the singularity. This singularity marks the beginning of the universe's expansion and is where all matter and energy were compressed into an infinitely small point before rapidly expanding.
The singularity at the centre of a black hole.
A singularity is a point in space-time in which matter and energy are infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole or at the moment of the Big Bang.
In Physics, singularity is a point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space-time when matter is infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole.

A "Singularity" or a "black hole".
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.
The Big Bang theory postulates that the universe is expanding from an extremely hot and dense state. It does not necessarily say that this state was a singularity - but a singularity would have been consistent with Einstein's relativity theory. If it was indeed a singularity, then it would have been much smaller than a dot; much smaller even then a proton. In fact, it would have had no size at all.
A black hole isn't a hole as such. It is an extremely dense dead star that attracts all matter into a tiny singularity that has a massive density.
