TB, you're not seriously meaning that you think there
are such things as "singularities", are you? I mean,
how can "infinite mass" fit into "zero volume"?

Okay, i get that neutron stars are compressed matter,
so compressed that the atoms have sort of been
"squished" and the matter of the star is mostly just
neutrons. And i get that neutrons pack a whole lot of
mass into a very small volume. And i also get that a
black hole compresses even more mass than a neutron
star into an even smaller volume.

But i don't get an infinite mass compressed into a zero
volume (singularity). For me, it's one of the things that
ruins the BB theories.

I have toyed with the idea of a photon being an infinite
mass compressed into a zero volume, which would be
why we can only sense it as an itty bitty quantum, a
particle-like wave that usually moves real fast. But no,
it's just too much of a stretch for me.

My idea of mass is that it must always, by nature, take
up some volume. It always has a limited (never infinite)
nature. And while i can visualize a "zero volume", i find
it very hard picturing it being filled with anything. Just
don't make sense to me.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!
