I thought wether or not a singularity sits at the center of a black hole is actively discussed.
Or to be more precise: our math seems to indicate that there is one ... and precisely because of that we think that our math might be wrong or incomplete (because every single time we have encountered an "infinite" or something resembling that in the past it turned to be an error).

- colechristensen 4y agoGeneral Relativity says there is a singularity, more than one depending on the metric and coordinate system chosen. However GR is not a quantum theory and it is well known that it clashes with quantum mechanics in ways that would show up in a singularity so what the physical reality of space actually at and nearby the singularity is still a mystery because we don't yet have an accepted theory of quantum gravity.
