Exploring Singularity: Black Holes and Quantum Gravity

This chapter examines the concept of singularities within general relativity, detailing their historical origins and implications in modern physics. It discusses key contributions from figures like Schwarzschild, Oppenheimer, and Penrose, and explores how recent advancements attempt to reconcile quantum mechanics with black hole models. The chapter also delves into the persistent challenges of understanding singularities, thermodynamics, and the nature of space-time as researchers seek a unified theory of quantum gravity.
