I'll answer this anyway, since nobody cared to ask.
A singularity is a region of space-time in which gravitational forces are so strong that even general relativity, the well-proven gravitational theory of Einstein, and the best theory we have for describing the structure of the universe, breaks down there. A singularity marks a point where the curvature of space-time is infinite, or, in other words, it possesses zero volume and infinite density. General relativity demands that singularities arise under two circumstances.

My use of the term references the astrophysical, not metaphysical interpertation of a singularity point. Why did I choose this? I dunno, I like the metaphor for Blogging being a black hole of activity, perhaps. I'm usually not that subtle.
