"Exploring the Mysteries of Black Hole Size, Appearance, and Time Dilation"

TL;DR Summary
The center of a black hole, known as the singularity, is a theoretical point where mass is thought to be compressed to zero volume, implying infinite density, which suggests a breakdown of our current understanding of physics. The event horizon marks the boundary beyond which nothing can escape the black hole's gravitational pull. While general relativity predicts the existence of singularities, it is believed to fail at describing the true nature of a black hole's center, indicating the need for a new theory of quantum gravity. The reality inside a black hole remains speculative and may forever be beyond our empirical understanding.
