In the sense that we don't expect stress-energy to just disappear, that's true. However, it's also true that we do expect a black hole...

And your clarifications showed that your usage was not correct, in the way I pointed out. In that spacetime diagram, an object "at...

In "realistic" models of collapsing stars in GR, the matter reaches the singularity and leaves our model. Its gravitational effect...

This is fascinating to me. I had it beat into my head that matter and energy cannot be destroyed. When a star collapses, that mass needs...

Yes, like I said, I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge. First, I realized that my nomenclature is wrong. I wanted to clarify what I...

No. It's not even part of the spacetime. It's not. No, that's not correct. Look at a Kruskal diagram, as seen, for example, in this...

When I say black hole, I'm speaking about the event horizon itself. Singularity is the object within the event horizon, the remnants of...

On a re-read, are you using "singularity" and "black hole" as synonyms? They're not the same thing. The singularity is inside the black...

Right, the spacetime diagram flips. That part makes sense. And I realized that the math breaks when trying to look past the event...

The event horizon is a feature of spacetime yes. But wouldn't the singularly still be made of something. I know that neutron stars...

To start off, please understand that as much as I love physics and try to keep myself immersed in everything, my education in it doesn't...
