(Beginner) Reading astronomy books, I've come up with the word singularity a lot, but I can't figure out what it exactly means. A singularity means a point where some property is infinite. For example, at the center of a black hole, according to classical theory, the density is infinite (because a finite mass is compressed to a zero volume). Hence it is a singularity.
Singularities can also be divided according to whether or not they are covered by an event horizon (naked singularities are not covered). According to modern general relativity, the initial state of the universe, at the beginning of the Big Bang, was a singularity.
