Singularity

At the center of a black hole as described by general relativity lies a https://www.physicsforums.com/wiki/Gravitational_singularity , a region where the spacetime curvature becomes infinite.[54] For a non-rotating black hole, this region takes the shape of a single point and for a https://www.physicsforums.com/wiki/Rotating_black_hole , it is smeared out to form a https://www.physicsforums.com/wiki/Ring_singularity lying in the plane of rotation.[55] In both cases, the singular region has zero volume. It can also be shown that the singular region contains all the mass of the black hole solution.[56] The singular region can thus be thought of as having infinite https://www.physicsforums.com/wiki/Mass_density .

A black hole singularity is a point in space where the gravitational pull becomes infinitely strong. It is surrounded by an event horizon, which is the point of no return for any object or light that gets too close.
Yes, a black hole singularity is believed to have infinite mass due to the fact that the gravitational pull becomes infinitely strong at this point.
When two black holes merge, their singularities also combine to form a larger singularity. This results in an even stronger gravitational pull and a larger event horizon.
Yes, it is possible for a black hole singularity to merge with a supermassive black hole. This can happen when two galaxies, each with a supermassive black hole at its center, merge together.
The concept of infinite mass in a black hole singularity has significant implications for our understanding of gravity and the laws of physics. It also raises questions about the ultimate fate of the universe and the possibility of time travel.
