Singularities probably don’t actually exist. They are hypothetical constructs used for describing the math of what WOULD happen, if matter reached the center of a black hole. But matter never can go past the event horizon. This is known as “cosmic censorship.” Although in 1991, a couple of physicists suggested that at a small enough scale, the potential for a singularity might not be trapped inside an event horizon, suggesting that a real (or “naked,” because it’s uncensored and uncovered) singularity MIGHT exist. But this doesn’t mean that they do, or that they aren’t even nonsensical from a real-world point-of-view.

It’s also known as pseudo-religious nonsense.
It’s also known as a big problem when it comes to working out the quantum mechanics and the positional uncertainty that appears to falsify the notion that an event horizon can exist.
Run through the standard Big Bang model and count the number of “and then a miracle happens...” that are required to believe it.
If you find less than a dozen you aren’t really looking.
“But matter never can go past the event horizon.”
Sure, that is true for matter that exists outside the event horizon after the black hole forms, but what about the matter already INSIDE the event horizon before it forms?
