No, a singularity does not have infinite mass. It is a finite amount of matter compressed into a mathematical point. i.e. it's density is infinite. It is believed that inside a black hole, all matter is compressed into a singularity because there is no known force that is strong enough to prevent matter from compressing down to the singularity. : Okay, a singularity is a single point of infinite mass, if its : were infinite wouldn't all the matter in the universe then : gravitate towards it at an infinite speed? Some info please?
