A point where matter density and spacetime curvature become infinite, as predicted by general relativity. Singularities exist at black hole centers and at the Big Bang's initial point. Their physics is one of the hardest problems in theoretical physics.
A region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape once past the event horizon. B...
The boundary around a black hole beyond which no light or radiation can escape. Once matter crosses it, it is inevitably...
Einstein's 1915 theory describing gravity as curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Confirmed by light bendin...
