It states that a black hole must contain a singularity, which is a point in space-time where the gravitational field is infinitely strong. This theorem has been proven to be true in the general theory of relativity, and has been a powerful tool in the study of black holes. The theorem has also been used to describe the Big Bang, and the evolution of the universe. ![[0D7F899B-DE6B-494E-B70D-1F5338A54AEE.png]] ![[DC67492F-B9AB-4E46-B9C2-B507C0EE05CD.jpeg]] # External links
