- checkyoursudo 8y agoI believe the previous poster is referring to a typo following from this: >A black hole itself (the singularity) is 1 dimensional - a single infinitesimal point. In Euclidean geometry, A cube is 3 dimensions. A plane is 2 dimensions. A line is 1 dimension. A point is ...
- codethief 8y agoNot sure why you're getting downvoted, this is a legitimate question. However, in this particular case, I think the final sentence of the accepted answer on Physics.SE, namely that > In this diagram the singularity is a line in spacetime i.e. a one dimensional object in spacetime. is wrong or at least very misleading – the answer does (correctly) say that asking for the "dimensionality of a singularity […] is a meaningless question because the spacetime geometry is undefined at a singularity".
