singularity
Where equations break
Singularity is the quality of being singular—unique, remarkable, or standing alone.
In physics, a singularity is a point where normal rules break down: the center of a black hole, where matter is infinitely dense.
The technological singularity refers to a hypothetical future moment when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and triggers runaway, unpredictable change.
The word often carries a sense of something unprecedented: the singularity of the event.
