|quote=In [[astronomy]] the singularity refers to a space-time event at point of which the known [[physical law]]s cease to be valid and at which the gravitational field equations become meaningless since some of their elements acquire extreme values. From perspective of [[general theory of relativity]] singularities involve all black holes and the starting point of the expansion of the universe (Big Bang) when radius of the universe is equal to zero and density is reaching infinitely high value.
