The Singularity of the Universe

When you fall inside the event horizon of a black hole, there's no escaping, no matter what you do or how you accelerate. Even if you travel at the Universe's speed limit, the speed of light, there's simply no way to get any closer to the exit.

Couldn't you wind up at some degenerate object instead? We don't think so, and here's the science behind why. Find out what's at the center of a black hole today!
