The Question(Submitted September 12, 2001)At the center of a black hole the singularity point has zero volume and infinite density.\ I know that the singularity is a point in space rather than an object with specific dimensions, but how is it possible for something to have zero volume and infinite density? The AnswerThis is indeed difficult to grasp. Actually at the center of a black hole spacetime hasinfinite curvature and matter is crushed to infinite density under the pull of infinite gravity. At a singularity, space and time cease to exist as we know them. The laws of physics as we know them break down at a singularity, so it's not really possible to envision something with infinite density and zero volume.

Kau Nak Apa Mengarut Nih Setan?!
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Sesiapa di antara kamu berpaling tadah dari agamanya (jadi murtad), maka Allah akan mendatangkan suatu kaum yang Dia kasihkan mereka dan mereka juga kasihkan Dia; mereka pula bersifat lemah-lembut terhadap orang-orang yang beriman dan berlaku tegas gagah terhadap orang-orang kafir, mereka berjuang dengan bersungguh-sungguh pada jalan Allah dan mereka tidak takut kepada celaan orang yang mencela. Yang demikian itu adalah limpah kurnia Allah yang diberikanNya kepada sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya; kerana Allah Maha Luas limpah kurniaNya, lagi Meliputi PengetahuanNya.
