Isaac Newtonâs Universal Law of Gravitation tells us that there is a singularity to be found within a black hole, but scientists and mathematicians have found a number of issues with Newtonâs equations. They donât always accurately represent reality. Einsteinâs General Theory of Relativity is a more complete theory of gravity. So does using the General Theory of Relativity eliminate the singularity? No. Not only does it concur with Newtonâs Universal Law of Gravitation but it also reveals a second singularity, not at the center of the black hole but at the event horizon.
