If density isn't finite, is there something like infinite velocity?

Why is light the fastest thing possible if it's finite?
>>
>>8161263
Because Norman Wildberger is right, and infinity doesn't exist.

Density is finite.

Light is the fastest thing possible because it has no mass.

How is density finite?

What about Black Holes?

>>8161303
>What about Black Holes?
What about them?
Each has a finite mass, so unless they occupy ZERO volume, they have finite density.

If so they wouldn't be here.

>>8161282
That's a bound on the entropy of a region; it says nothing about density.
The singularity in a black hole has infinite density.

>If density isn't finite

It is.

>>8161486
how dense are you?
>>
>>8161531
Well I'm not a singularity you know.
You can approximate a singularity to infinite density for the sake of calculation, but if you approximate me to infinity I'm afraid your professor won't be happy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_singularity

>Many theories in physics have mathematical singularities of one kind or another.
>Equations for these physical theories predict that the ball of mass of some quantity becomes infinite or increases without limit.
>This is generally a sign for a missing piece in the theory, as in the ultraviolet catastrophe, renormalization, and instability of a hydrogen atom predicted by the Larmor formula.

>This is generally a sign for a missing piece in the theory,

As it turns out, OP is still a fag.

And don't forget, OP asks:
>If density isn't finite, is there something like infinite velocity?
So he's essentially asking:
"I found one type of infinity that *might* exist in the real world, (or maybe our theories are incomplete), and even though the laws of normal spacetime can't apply in this case, it still makes me wonder if GR is wrong because if one kind of infinity can maybe exist, then why not infinite speed too?"

Jesus Christ, OP might as well ask "if the universe is infinite, why would I ever run out of mac and cheese?"

Well OP, theres you

This math literalism is embarrassing. We don't know what the fuck goes on inside the event horizon of a black hole, we're constantly refining our ideas. There are apparent paradoxes all over with our current understanding. The fact that current equations show a singularity means NOTHING. A few years ago we thought nothing came out of a black hole, that didn't turn out to be the case.

Thanks >>8161554 for actually having a brain.
