Ok thanks.. that just about does it for now... I'll understand it better in a few years after receiving formal university education :D... Just one last thing though... The curvature of spacetime, is, essentially what we call gravity. So if the curvature goes to infinity at the singularity...

I've been thinking about this for a while, my personal example was a nuclear explosion, but I'm talking in general about events in which matter is converted to energy.. Sticking to my original string of thought, in a nuclear detonation, matter is transformed into energy. But matter consists of...

If it's not too much trouble, could you try to explain the whole process of the creation of a naked singularity? Maybe a complete explanation will do better than asking about specific parts..

I just thought of another issue.. If there is no event horizon, It means an object, or say, a photon, can escape the singularity, right ? So if the escape velocity is now less than the speed of light, by what definition is the singularity a singularity? I thought it may mean that the event...

Oh, ok, thanks, clearly I have to learn a bit more about this whole thing. I guess the explanation in Wikipedia wasn't quite accurate, because it differed from what you've told me. Thanks anyway :)

Ok, thanks. But still, why do two event horizons form in the first place? I mean, how does the fact that the black hole is shaped as a ring make that happen? It says there "...they shrink toward the rotating singularity, eventually exposing it to the rest of the universe" Is that just incorrect?

Hi! I've been trying to find explanations about the theoretical formation of naked singularities, and all I could come up with was Wikipedia, and frankly, the explanation didn't "set" in my mind, I couldn't really visualize it. It reads: "From concepts drawn of rotating black holes, it is...
