Can a singularity expand in volume?

 

[Quds Akbar]

No, a singularity has zero volume or else it would not be defined as a singularity, black holes, on the other hand can be larger if two of them collapse creating one but the volume of the singularity would still be defined as zero.

a singularity has zero volume

Volume can expand, it isn't fixed. A singularity could have expanded to become something else, but I am asking this question to find out if a singularity can actually expand to change and become the other thing.

A singularity is not a thing. It is a breakdown of equations. Since it is not a thing, it does not have properties of things, like volume.

The big bang singularity may have an infinite volume and it can expand
