Penrose-Hawking Singularities

Penrose-Hawking Singularities refer to points in spacetime where gravity becomes so intense that it causes the fabric of the universe to curve infinitely, leading to undefined physical conditions. These singularities typically occur at the centers of black holes or at the beginning of the universe (the Big Bang). The theories developed by Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking demonstrate that, under certain reasonable conditions, these singularities are inevitable, signaling limits to our current understanding of physics and suggesting the need for a theory that unifies general relativity and quantum mechanics.
