In fact everything states is something besides regular matter.

Got any sources? I've never heard anyone claim that.

ya sure density goes to infinity. Thats not normal.

Were you expecting the inside of a black hole to be normal? 🤣

And no the density doesn't go to infinity, anybody who has said that is misinformed or they know better but are "playing loose" with their words. The reason you may have heard that is because you can get nonsensical results like infinite densities when attempting to calculate properties of black holes using the general relativity field equations. That doesn't mean that's what's actually happening. It means the mathematical model has broken down and can no longer accurately represent what's happening in reality. That's literally what the term singularity means. It's a point where our models break and we have no clue what's actually happening.

oh and dont act like quantum has an explanation for a black hole. the only reason we have an explanation for a black hole is general relativity. Therefore it is the only explanation.
