The Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems define a singularity to have geodesics that cannot be extended in a smooth manner. [6] The termination of such a geodesic is considered to be the singularity. Modern theory asserts that the initial state of the universe, at the beginning of the Big Bang, was a singularity. [7]
Larimar is the tradename for a rare blue variety of the silicate mineral pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, around the city of Barahona. [4] Its coloration varies from bluish white, light-blue, light-green, green-blue, turquoise blue, turquoise green, turquoise blue-green, deep green, dark green, to deep blue, dark blue and purple, violet and indigo and the larimar can come in ...
The technological singularity —or simply the singularity[1] —is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for Human civilization. [2][3] According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I. J. Good 's intelligence ...
Milnor number. In mathematics, and particularly singularity theory, the Milnor number, named after John Milnor, is an invariant of a function germ. If f is a complex-valued holomorphic function germ then the Milnor number of f, denoted μ (f), is either a nonnegative integer, or is infinite. It can be considered both a geometric invariant and ...
Great Picard's Theorem (meromorphic version): If M is a Riemann surface, w a point on M, P1 (C) = C ∪ {∞} denotes the Riemann sphere and f : M \ {w} → P1 (C) is a holomorphic function with essential singularity at w, then on any open subset of M containing w, the function f (z) attains all but at most two points of P1 (C) infinitely often.
Cloughmore Stone The view towards Carlingford Lough. Cloughmore or Cloghmore (from Irish An Chloch Mhór 'the big stone'), [1] known locally as "The Big Stone", is a huge granite boulder perched on a mountainside almost 1,000 feet (300 m) above the village of Rostrevor, County Down, Northern Ireland. [2]
Singularity (operating system), an experimental operating system developed by Microsoft Research. Mechanical singularity, a position or configuration of a mechanism or a machine where the subsequent behavior cannot be predicted. Singularity (software), a container technology that does not require root permissions to run.
The stone or stone weight (abbreviation: st.) [1] is an English and British imperial unit of mass equal to 14 avoirdupois pounds (6.35 kg). [nb 1] The stone continues in customary use in the United Kingdom and Ireland for body weight. England and other Germanic -speaking countries of Northern Europe formerly used various standardised "stones ...
