A singularity is formed from the collapse of a giant star (many times the mass of our own Sun). The gravity of this star is so strong that the collapse continues past the point of maximum atomic density. Its a point in spacetime in which gravitational forces causes matter to have an infinite density and zero volume. It is also where finite mass is compressed into a dimensionless point where the known laws of physics break down. Due to quantum gravity. A gravitational singularity is the construct of the center of a the point of compression, in other words its the center of a blackhole.

What is inside a singularity? Residual mass-energy. Meaning, the actual mass and energy need no longer exist, but the curvature in space that they caused before entering the singularity remains.

How strong is a gravitational singularity? A gravity of the Singularity is so strong that everything (including light) gets pulled down into the Singularity.
