Is this article talking about the national debt?
I have a question if anyone here is enough of an astrophysics professional to answer it. As gravity increases, time slows and at the event horizon, time essentially stops. If that’s the case, then as a star collapses, time slows and slows as the gravity increases but if the collapse slows, how can it every finish and reach the point where time stops? Wouldn’t each black hole essentially be forever trying to finish forming but not finish forming until the “end of time”?
What, those modern physicists have never seen a National Geographics?
That doesn’t really answer my question. The equation for velocity is v = d/t or vt = d so as time (t) approaches zero, the distance covered also approaches zero. So it’s not simply a matter of the image being frozen but of the actual movement being frozen, too, at least from the outside frame of reference.
Well, that’s good. I don’t want a naked singularity in the first place.
If you were there, though, would it seem like not forever but as a very short amount of time, all things being relative.
Not touching that one at all...
But personally, I believe if B Hussein Obama is elected we'll all be living in a black hole (no racial connotations intended!).
Ray-Zizt! Now you peeps be callin’ Obama a black hole!
IOW: “Have you ever seen a grown singularity nekkid?”
What about 3 colliding singularities?...
Obama, Pelosi, Reid
“where the laws of physics do not apply”
If things really work differently at a singularity, then that’s part of the laws of physics too, and the laws of physics need to be revised to include that.
Problem is scientists really think that their “laws” rule and control the universe.
Wrong.
Scientific “laws” are an attempt to understand and describe the workings of the Universe. If the “laws” are wrong, they must be revised.
Since present scientific “laws” don’t explain the origin of the Universe, often referred to as the “big bang”, they are in question.

Does the singularity look like Sarah or like Hillary?
Alas, father time has greatly diminished my naked singularity!
Zeno’s paradox? Similar to the problem of movement toward a threshold. You can always divide the distance needed in half. So if you go halfway, you can then go halfway again, then halfway again, ad infinitum. Thus you never reach the threshold.
No to naked sigularityism. I you allow just one singularity to be naked you must allow them all. Stand up of the rights of the cloaked singularity.
