Well, that’s good. I don’t want a naked singularity in the first place.

Does the singularity look like Sarah or like Hillary?

Not a big deal; they usually go away after a while.

I would submit it does answer the question.

For an object falling into a singularity, time is unaltered, in much the same way as a traveler on a lightspeed spacecraft would experience it. It is only altered from the perspective of the observer.

I suppose that if a star were collapsing into a black hole, initially, the observer would see the star’s death frozen in time until the singularity had accumulated enough mass from its surroundings to “grow” the event horizon beyond the star’s initial mass, at which point the “blackness” would swallow up the ghost image.

I've always opposed naked singularity.

Is the site down? I notice no new articles going up, or at least very few.

It’s good for all of us that Helen Thomas is not a naked singularity.
