Infinite density is a theoretical concept that describes a point of extreme compactness where the mass of an object is compressed into an infinitely small volume. It is often associated with black holes, where gravity is so strong that it causes matter to collapse into a singularity with infinite density at the center.

Does a black hole have infinite mass?

No, a black hole does not have infinite mass. Black holes have a finite mass, which is concentrated in a small volume, leading to their intense gravitational pull and the formation of an event horizon from which not even light can escape.


What is an area of infinite density that traps even light?

They are called Black Holes or singularities.


Can ever a star has infinite density to become a black hole?

This question is incoherent; please rephrase.


Is the density of a neutron greater than the density of a black hole?

no, a neutron has a finite volume and thus a finite density, the singularity of a black hole has zero volume and thus infinite density.Infinity >>>>> any finite value


Can specific heat of a substance be infinite?

No. The first law of thermodynamics implies that the energy of the universe is finite. As a consequence the specific heat of a substance - defined as H/m where H is enthalpy and m is mass. Either H would have to be infinite or m would have to be zero. If m is zero, then the ratio is meaningless because you don't have anything to assign the enthalpy to. H = U+PV. For H to be infinite either U (internal energy) has to be infinite - but we've already established that the 1st law says total energy of the universe is finite, so that's not the case - or PV is infinite. You aren't going to get P (pressure) to be infinite so V would have to be infinite, i.e. zero density - again, if density is zero, there is effectively nothing there. Since we've eliminated all possibilities for any of the necessary terms to be infinite, specific heat cannot be infinite.

Is it more correct to say that a Black Hole has infinite mass or infinite gravity?

A black hole has infinite density.


Does a black hole have mass?

No, a black hole definitely does not have infinite mass. In some mathematical models, there is an object called a singularity, inside a black hole, which has infinite density. That is not the same as infinite mass. If a finite mass is contained in zero volume, then the density becomes infinite. We do not have any real confirmation that such a thing as a singularity or an infinite density actually exist, but they may.

How can gravity or anything be infinite?

Gravity itself is not infinite, but it can be considered to have infinite range because it weakens with distance but never goes to zero. In physics, infinity can be used as a concept to describe an idea without bounds, but it does not necessarily mean a physical quantity is actually infinite.

What is in a blackhole?

a lot of empty space and a point singularity at the exact center containing all the mass compressed to infinite density.
