    Singularity Symbol
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the lack of a universally accepted mathematical symbol for a singularity, particularly in the context of black holes and their collapse into singularities. Mark, the original poster, seeks a symbol to represent the equation "Singularity + Collapse = New Universe." Participants suggest various unconventional symbols and terms, including the Schwarzschild radius and event horizon, while emphasizing the challenge of incorporating mathematical notation into a narrative. Ultimately, Mark considers using T=0 as a potential representation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mathematical concepts related to singularities
  • Familiarity with black hole physics and cosmology
  • Knowledge of complex analysis and types of singularities
  • Awareness of mathematical notation and symbols
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Schwarzschild radius and its implications in black hole physics
  • Explore the concept of event horizons in relation to singularities
  • Study complex analysis and the classification of singularities
  • Investigate the use of mathematical symbols in literature and their impact on storytelling
USEFUL FOR

Writers, physicists, and anyone interested in the intersection of mathematics and narrative, particularly in the context of theoretical physics and cosmology.

I need the symbol that discribes a singularity for a novel I am writing. Can anyone help?

Many thanks
Mark

There is no mathematical symbol for a singularity.
 
If you like mathematical heresy, maybe: ##\frac{1}{0}##
 
There are a differents kind of singularity, is a space-time singularity?, is a singularity of first or second kind in the sense of functions, is an essential singularity in the sense of complex analysis ...
 
In my novel and what i believe is true, a black hole collapses into a singularity, this event creates a new universe on a new brane. What i need is a mathmatical symbol for this event, i will explain:

Singularity+Collaspe.= New Universe.

Thats my reasoning anyway, i wonder if there is an equation for this?

Nope...
 
Im gunna have to make one up then, any suggestions?

What's the point? You need symbols for singularity, collapse, and new universe, all to make and equation that looks "mathy".
 
True, i hear what your saying, I am going to have to work it out myself then .;)

What about the alternative:

Boy - Barnsley = Singularity?

How about some very rarely used, strange ones: (see the middle of the page)

Thanks fresh, there's plenty there to choose from.

Lol, like it.

This is genius.

I suggest you to use complicated terms as Schwarzschild radius or event horizon, but put symbols or equations in a novel is strange, I never remember novels with math equations or symbols ... (this is may personal opinion!)

Thanks Ssnow, i agree it is strange but this would be the only one. It would fit nicely into the scheme of things.

I think i might go with T=0 , that's the closest i think I am going to get.
