    Question How does General Relativity predict zero volume/infinite density of Black holes?

    But it can't. At the very best, it could TEND towards zero, but it would never become zero. Worse still from the perspective of drawing any solid conclusions, we would have do understand to what extent each level of the structure of matter could be compressed, and since we only know to what...

    Question How does General Relativity predict zero volume/infinite density of Black holes?

    To be honest, I'm not sure of the relevance of the Menger sponge to the consideration as to whether the mass within a black hole does or does not have volume. It clouds what is to me, an relatively intuitive matter.

    Question How does General Relativity predict zero volume/infinite density of Black holes?

    Thank you for this. I'll read the paper. To me, the problem with infinite density is that with infinite density comes infinite gravity. And if we then take a point, say 1mm away from a point at which gravity is infinite, the gravity there must also be infinite. And so on throughout the...

    Question How does General Relativity predict zero volume/infinite density of Black holes?

    There is an assertion that General Relativity predicts that black holes have zero volume, so by extension that their density is infinite. However, my understanding is that this line of thought violates the Compressability level theory of matter, so cannot be correct. Clearly, the density of...
