Abstract

Singularity is an interesting concept of theoretical physics. Colloquially explained, a singularity is a location in space-time where all known laws of physics suffer complete breakdown. Without the cushion of these known laws, the first casualty is loss of predictability. We are no more able to predict the outcome of a singularity. In a way, a singularity, is the ultimate exception to the otherwise pliant and strictly rule driven Universe we are accustomed to.
