Degrees of Infinity — Density Gradients of the Singularity

When we consider the collapse of mass upon itself to the formation of a black hole, we consider a limit beyond which a singularity — event horizon, ergosphere, and singularity that all define a black hole — is formed.

We tend to deal with the limit, more than we deal with the infinity itself.

To be fair, it is not that easy to approach infinity. By its nature, it does not exactly have a definition.

General Picture

The formation of a black hole is a perfectly natural condition in the universe. It occurs by the most fundamental forces of physics that define matter interactions.

Black holes do appear to be understood as “exotic” features of the universe, but only because they have only recently been theorized, comprehended, and observed. Even more to the point, they are even more exotic from the perspective of the general public. While among the scientists who know about such objects, extensive disagreement (on relatively limited evidence) remains.

However, in the universe, black holes are fundamental structures. Fundamental structures of creation, in fact, since Black Hole Structure and Black Hole Dynamics both define the behaviour of these objects.

Black Holes form because of fundamental forces. When there is enough matter, a black hole is formed. They are Stages of Evolution of Matter Collapse, essentially. Supermassive stars, for example, can be understood as objects that weren’t quite dense enough to form black holes.

We might also be able to understand galaxies as objects that formed around primordial, supermassive black holes.

In the ecosystem of space, black holes are a fundamental feature. They are an extreme consequence of gravitational, electromagnetic, atomic, and other forces. When a black hole is created, it changes the environment of the vacuum. And apparently has the tendency to create hospitable conditions for the development of stars, planets, and probably life, too.

Gradients of Gravitational Collapse In Nature

When we consider gravitational collapse in the universe, we can place gravitational collapse on a spectrum — a spectrum where density is one of the principle factors. Space clouds (nebulae) collapse in on themselves to form stars. These same space clouds also collapse to form planets.

The exact size of the star, size, number, and type of the planets, depends on innumerable facts, but importantly the mass and density of the portion of the nebulae they were born from.

A planet can be considered as an extremely small stage in gravitational collapse of matter. If there was more matter available, that tiny planet — Earth — could have become a star. If there was unimaginable amounts of matter available, the Sun could have become a black hole.

Each of these objects — probably in a speculative order from Planet, Star, Galaxy, Black Hole — a gradations or degrees along the spectrum of gravitational collapse dynamics. So the question is, what if we consider this similar framework, but applied to gravitational collapse towards infinity instead.

When we look towards the ever smaller, we also have to look towards the ever larger too.
