It's always possible to use a hypothetical point particle as an "observer", usually called a test particle. The behavior of all such test particles should be sensible, no matter their path. Claiming anything else would literally be nonsense.sahmgeek said:??
Singularities = infinite density (most likely in the form of energy, not in the form of matter since their is also infinite gravity, right?)
does energy make observations? what I'm getting at is that i don't think an "observer" of any kind that we are familiar with could exist at a singularity. could it?
