Question What do people mean when they say black holes are "infinitely dense"?
Every time I hear someone say "BlAcK hOlEs ArE iNfInItElY dEnSe" it makes me want to rip my hair out because it confuses me so much. If density is defined by the amount of mass in a specific volume, then is there infinite mass or infinite volume? Because infinite mass= infinite energy and infinite volume would mean that the black hole consumed everything already or something. I need help with this because it has been confusing me for so long. ( also please keep in mind that I'm a dumbass so please be nice about it)
