I I need a list of all singularities in physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying instances of singularities in physics, particularly in relativity and quantum mechanics. A participant mentions the Friedmann equation, which has a singularity at a=0, corresponding to t=0. The conversation acknowledges that many singularities arise from coordinate choices, complicating the identification of "real" singularities. Participants also reference well-known singularities such as black holes, renormalization, cosmic strings, and domain walls. The thread highlights the challenge of compiling a comprehensive list of these singularities in physics.

Hi there everyone :smile:

I'd like to have a list of all the instances where a singularity appears in physics, e.g., in relativity, causing the black hole thing.

Specific cases where

\frac{x}{0}

appears.

For instance, I heard that there is another case in quantum mechanics, or quantum field theory, and I think it is called renormalization.

Can you help me please?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi SothSogi:

The Friedmann equation

has a singularity for a=0 which also corresponds to t=0.

Good luck.

Thanks Buzz Bloom. That is exactly the kind of information I am looking for. Thank you very much :smile:
 
This is difficult to do because many singularities are the products of co-ordinate choices. You will have to sift through them all and determine which ones are, and I hate to use the word, real.

Yes, I suppose. But here I am talking about well known singularities, like black holes, or that thing, renormalization which I do not know very well. I think there is another called cosmic string, or another called domain wall.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
