singularitysin‧gu‧lar‧i‧ty /ˌsɪŋɡjəˈlærəti/ noun (plural singularities) - He is just trying to assert his singularity as a writer.
- At the singularities, the equations of physics can not be defined; thus one can not predict what will happen.
- Conversely, the fact that we are able to predict events is experimental evidence against singularities and for the no-boundary proposal.
- However, the beginning in imaginary time will not be a singularity.
- In the real time direction, this inevitably leads to singularities, places where space-time comes to an end.
- The eye seeks and recognises the singularity of a symmetrical pair.
- The most familiar class of singularities are the scalar curvature singularities.
- This clearly demonstrates the existence of a scalar curvature singularity on this hypersurface.
VERB► occur· In this case either I or J must be unbounded, and a curvature singularity occurs.· There exists, however, a very large class of exceptional solutions in which curvature singularities do not occur.· The theory of general relativity predicts an infinite curvature, but whether such a physical singularity can really occur is not known.· In all these solutions, the singularity that occurs when corresponds to a Cauchy horizon.· It is therefore inevitable that some kind of singularity will occur on the hypersurface f + g 0.· Scalar polynomial curvature singularities therefore can not occur.· The sides and are the II-IV and III-IV boundaries respectively, and the focusing singularity occurs on the line.
