  Black Holes
Note that the gravitational attraction of the matter of the star is trying to make it smaller; this is balanced by the radiation pressure that is trying to push the matter outward making the star bigger.
In this case, the gravitational attraction is so intense the neutrons are literally crushed out of existence.
The gravitation is so intense that it has punched a hole in the fabric of spacetime.

 Gravitational singularity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gravitational singularity occurs when an astrophysical model, typically based on general relativity, predicts a paradox of space-time, in a point of infinite space-time curvature, in which everything will be infinitely deflected by an infinite gravitational well.
The term is closely related to the mathematical notion of "singularity": a gravitational singularity occurs when the equations produce a mathematical singularity.
At the "Big Bang Singularity," the model predicts that the density of the universe and the curvature of space-time are paradoxically infinite.

 Black Hole   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Gravitational collapse begins when a star has depleted its steady sources of nuclear energy and can no longer produce the expansive force, a result of normal gas pressure, that supports the star against the compressive force of its own gravitation.
However, a fl hole could be detected by the effect of its gravitational field on nearby objects (e.g., if it is orbited by a visible star), during the collapse while it was forming, or by the X rays and radio frequency signals emitted by rapidly swirling matter being pulled into the fl hole.
The gravitational field is so strong that the escape velocity near it exceeds the speed of light.

 Fractal Universe - The Singularity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In future studies, a technological singularity (also referred to as just "the Singularity") is a predicted future event when technological progress and societal change accelerate due to the advent of superhuman artificial intelligence, changing our environment beyond the ability of pre-Singularity humans to comprehend or reliably predict.
This event is named by analogy with the breakdown of modern physics knowledge near the gravitational singularity of a fl hole.
The concept of the Singularity was brought to a much wider audience in the 1980s by Vernor Vinge.

A gravitational singularity occurs when an astrophysical model, typically based on generalrelativity, predicts a point of infinite curvature.
In a non-rotating fl hole, the singularity occurs at a single point in the modelcoordinates, and is called a "point singularity".
Many physicists believe that gravitational singularities are "unphysical",meaning that general relativity ultimately ceases to be an accurate description of gravity somewhere in the vicinity of what would otherwise be a singularity.

 Just a few words on Black Holes
Besides, if a gravitational fl hole could exist at all, then there is no reason for a bright spot to appear at the very center of the hole, because no light can escape from a Gravitational Black Hole, but the bright spot is light or radiation projecting towards the viewer.
At any rate, a gravitational fl hole is not likely to form at the action center of any galaxy because this is the region where gravity doesn't exist and the energy and angular velocity of motion is the highest.
Secondly, gravitation, if any, exists as a gravitational wave, it's highly dubious that a regular wave would not be disturbed or broken down by the violence at the galactic center.

 Did the Big Bang Have A Cause
It may be, as a matter of fact, that all singularities are infinitely dense, but this is not a defining condition of singularities but merely explains why (in the actual cases) that certain points are singular.
This reference class is obviously not the class of macroscopic events since the singularity is not a macroscopic event, but it is not the class of microscopic events either, since the singularity is not a microscopic event.
singularities are retarded pieces of the big bang singularity and abide in a quiescent state until an unpredictable time when wormholes arise from them.

The gravitational forces are so strong in a fl hole that they overcome neutron degeneracy pressure and, roughly speaking, collapse to a point (known as a singularity).
Fortunately, this ring singularity is not quite as dangerous as the Schwarzschild one -- it is possible to avoid it and enter a new region of spacetime, by passing through either of two "throats" bounded by the ring (see The Big Picture).
A singularity is a region of space-time in which gravitational forces are so strong that even general relativity, the well-proven gravitational theory of Einstein, and the best theory we have for describing the structure of the universe, breaks down there.

We postulate that there is a progressive alteration in the eclectic wrapping of each parcel that aligns itself with the supernormal continuity of the local group or gathering, in effect moving from a lesser to a greater degree of continuity as shown in the Singularity illustration.
An appropriate illustration of this phenomenon is the paradigm of the ocean and the raindrops.
A given ocean (locally forming existential singularity) remains unchanged, but the boundary topologies (folding) of each raindrop (parcel) that are a part of it undergo a metamorphosis (new eclectic of supernormal continuity) as they merge together (the gathering) in a single body of water.

By using the Kerr rotational equations of Singularity to configure the magnetic field compression (Schwarzchild, Tipler [Blazars, natural explosive deviation] on the special properties of harmonic wave reconversions and specific resonance) of the Plasma compression in the reactance coupling device, Reciprocal Feedback can be achieved with the correct tuning of resonance / harmonics.
Another note on the kerr singularitity (rotational / gravitational) is that matter (mass) is a byproduct of the energy function of the realtime moment of singularity that occurs significantly outside the primary event horizon.
And it is important to note that in the process of a singularity moving through spacetime over billions of millenia matter (mass) is continuously formed from the stagnating energy.

Before the late 1960s, many cosmologists thought the infinitely dense and physically paradoxical singularity at the starting time of Friedmann's cosmological model could be avoided by allowing for a universe which was contracting before entering the hot dense state and starting to expand again.
However, due to a lack of a theory of quantum gravity, there is no way to say whether the singularity is an actual origin point for the universe or whether the physical processes that govern the regime cause the universe to be effectively eternal in character.
The gravitational effects of these features are understood observationally and theoretically but they have not yet been successfully incorporated into the Standard Model of particle physics.

 Relativity and GPS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The higher frequency of the GPS clock at its greater gravitational potential is in fact the source of the increased frequency and decreased wavelength of the received signal.
If a massive body were to shrink in size due to gravitational attraction such that it approached its "gravitational radius," the ether would be completely excluded from inside that radius; and, since particles are standing waves in the ether, they could not exist inside the fl-hole radius.
Saying this another way, the earth's gravitational gradient and the orbital velocity gradient of the moon are such that their effect on any clock located on the moon exactly cancels (in an earth-centered frame).

 Naked singularity
A naked singularity, by contrast, is a point in space where the density is infinite and which is observable from the outside.
The theoretical existence of naked singularities is important because their existence would mean that it would be possible to observe the collapse of an object to infinite density.
Einstein was right, singularities don't "exist" within fl holes- instead a singularity is the consequence of a fl hole and is "reached" through the fl hole as part of the eventual collapse of the space-time structure of our universe.

 Quantum Singularity - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
The gravitational effects cause things in a radius around it to be sucked in toward it.
But since the singularity blinks out almost instantly, it's just a matter of their momentum carrying them toward the center hex and possibly colliding with other things that were within reach.
Since a quatum singularity creates the attraction by force of gravity, I'd just state that the special effect is that all things "fall" towards it at the same speed, and hence do the same basic damage.

 EST ( Expanding Spacetime Theory )
This modification implies that negative gravitational field energy must exist, which when integrated over space, is of the same magnitude as the gravitating mass energy.
Far away from the gravitating object the influence of the gravitational field is truncated at a distance comparable to the Hubble distance.
It is interesting that both the far field and the near field properties of the gravitational field are significantly modified by the energy-momentum tensor induced by the scale expansion, while leaving the intermediate field essentially the same as the Schwarzschild field.

 There is only one True Singularity and It is at the Center
The singularity at the Schwarzschild radius is only a mathematical singularity due to the choice of coordinate system.
In other words, in the Schwarzschild metric from a stationary frame, the physical singularity "appears" to be at the Schwarzschild radius, but it's actually at the center.
If, just short of the singularity (but well inside the Schwarzschild radius), he turns on his retro-rockets with thrust equal to the gravitational force at that point, then he will shift back to the stationary frame and he will see himself hovering just outside the Schwarzschild radiius instead of just outside the singularity.

Singularity means gravitational pull of matters to infinite small such as flhole
It was pointed out numerous times that we are using the word Singularity somewhat differently than physicists and we need to be more clear about this but it does reflect a "Singular Convergence of Intelligence as Energy" that is metaphorically analogous (not the same) as the physics of what lies beyond the "Event Horizon".

In the region close to the singularity, which would be hidden behind the event horizon if the singularity were not rotating rapidly, [i][b]spacetime is extremely distorted by the singularity’s strong gravitational field.
The result is that a carefully piloted spaceship could approach close to the singularity and follow an orbit through what seemed to all on board the spaceship to be ordinary space, but was in fact a journey through time.
Under the distortion of an extreme gravitational field, t could be swapped with y, such that a vehicle moving along the y-axis does not move through space, but rather moves in a certain direction through time.
