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?

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.
