Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally interwoven threads of space and time seem to stop short. These mysterious points are known as singularities. Read Full Article » Show comments Hide Comments Related Articles

These mysterious points are known as singularities. Singularities are predictions of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
