This is not a question - more a topic of discussion; as I am not expecting definitive answers.
At the center of black holes we stipulate singularities, now I understand that mathematically a singularity does not make sense; infinite density and zero spatial volume being irreconcilable and an indication of a breakdown in current theory.
So my discussion is this:
However would/could black holes form without a singularity?
and
Is it possible for singularities to form from our reference frame, ie: the reference frame of the external observer? Would it not be impossible for a singularity to form on the basis of properties of time dilation in extreme gravity - at least from our reference frame as we would be mapping a finite observer time to an infinite coordinate time?
or
Am I looking at this too simply, and its is curvature that reaches infinite proportions?
Just looking for some general discussion and possible laymans easy reading.
Thanks in advance, Cosmo.
