A naked singularity is a hypothetical gravitational singularity that is not hidden behind an event horizon. In general relativity, a singularity typically occurs when gravitational forces cause matter to collapse to an infinitely dense point, such as at the center of a black hole. In such cases, the event horizon forms around the singularity, creating a boundary beyond which information cannot escape.
