are all laws of physics break only at singularity Or laws of physics break even after event horizon?what is the difference
Nabeshin said:The singularity is the point (and it is important to understand that it is a mathematical point -- it has no dimensions) at which density becomes infinite. Clearly, shoving anything into zero volume will produce an infinite density. This is where modern physics begin to have a problem.
The event horizon, on the other hand, is a fictitious radius around the black hole at which not even light would be able to escape in any fashion. This represents a "point of no return" because, as nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape the fate of falling into the black hole beyond this radius.
