In astrophysics, there is a concept called a “singularity.” Most often discussed in terms of the Big Bang or black holes, a singularity is, among other things, a point in spacetime from which no prior matter or information can escape.Because pressures and temperatures approached infinity at the moment of the Big Bang, whatever the form of the universe was prior to that can never be seen, measured, or truly known. Likewise, once anything, including light, is drawn into a black hole, it can never escape that singularity’s event horizon; all information about it is lost forever to any future observer....
