A gravitational singularity, spacetime singularity, ... at the beginning of the Big Bang, was a singularity of infinite density and temperature. [5] ...
The initial singularity is a singularity predicted by some models of the Big Bang theory to have existed before the Big Bang. [1] The instant immediately following the initial singularity is part of the Planck epoch , the earliest period of time in the history of our universe.
The Hawking singularity theorem is based on the Penrose theorem and it is interpreted as a gravitational singularity in the Big Bang situation. Penrose shared half of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020 "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity".
In general relativity, a naked singularity is a hypothetical gravitational singularity without an event horizon.. When there exists at least one causal geodesic that, in the future, extends to an observer either at infinity or to an observer comoving with the collapsing cloud, and in the past terminates at the gravitational singularity, then that singularity is referred to as a naked ...
A "bare singularity" is another example of a non-deterministic configuration, but does not have the status of a white hole, however, because there is no region inaccessible from a given region. In its basic conception, the Big Bang can be seen as a naked singularity in outer space, but does not correspond to a white hole. [13]
The concept and the term "singularity" were popularized by Vernor Vinge – first in 1983 (in an article that claimed that once humans create intelligences greater than their own, there will be a technological and social transition similar in some sense to "the knotted space-time at the center of a black hole", [10]) and later in his 1993 essay ...
Ray Kurzweil predicts humans and AI will merge by 2045, boosting intelligence a millionfold with nanobots, bringing both hope and challenges for the future.
Singularity (system theory), in dynamical and social systems, a context in which a small change can cause a large effect Gravitational singularity, in general relativity, a point in which gravity is so intense that spacetime itself becomes ill-defined
