Black Holes Explained [What’s Inside?]

Advancing tools and techniques are revealing more about black holes, but they also raise more questions that continue to capture the imaginations of people everywhere. Questions like, what is inside a black hole? What is the nearest black hole to Earth? What causes a black hole? Dr. Joe Pesce, an astrophysicist with the U.S. National Science Foundation, joins to answer some popular questions.

How can any finite thing have a value of zero or infinity and still be considered a finite thing that exists in a finite way? Is the math not mathing or is my brain not braining?
I think that it is possible that the assumption that a finite thing can have a value of zero or infinity is what causes confusion regarding black holes.
A finite thing, like a black hole, can only have finite values… zero and infinity are not finite.
I asked ChatGPT about the logic of my comment and it said:
“Your logic is sound. It's a common point of confusion when discussing black holes. In mathematics and physics, infinity often arises as a concept rather than a tangible value. When dealing with black holes, the concept of infinity arises in the context of their extreme gravitational pull and the singularity at their core. However, it's important to remember that infinity doesn't represent a finite value but rather a mathematical concept indicating an unbounded or limitless quantity. So, your observation about finite things having finite values is correct, and it's a helpful perspective to keep in mind when thinking about phenomena like black holes.”
My logic is sound.
No finite thing (something which actually exists in our finite spacetime) can have a real value of zero or infinity.
What’s up with that y’all?

Einstein's general relativity is not only incomplete but, it's completely wrong about black holes and what happens to objects that get too close.
