: I have heard from other people in another forum that a singularity has no length, width, or height. Is this true? And if so, how is this possible. Please respond to this post. We really need this information. A singularity is anywhere a term in an equation becomes infinite. It sounds like they were considering only a special class of singularity such as a charge density for a point particle field source. The event horizon of a black hole is an example of a coordinate singularity which has a nonzero surface area. |
