gravitational singularity
noun gravitational singularities
-
A location where the quantities that are used to measure the gravitational field become infinite in a way that does not depend on the coordinate system.
Seen as a central metaphor, a gravitational singularity is a (theoretical) point at the centre of black holes at which quantities that are otherwise meaningful (e.g., density and spacetime curvature) become infinite, or rather meaningless.
