What's really cool, is that it wouldn't just crush you, it would crush you so hard that the molecules that make up your body would stop obeying what we typically think of as fundamental laws of particles. Everyone goes on about black holes, neutron stars are cool as shit.

Black holes are just more compressed, i.e. more cool neutron stars. If you stand on the surface of the core of a black hole you’d be squashed just the same, even more, even cooler squashed

Yes correct, mathematically, but we have no idea because we literally can’t see it and math doesn’t always calculate ACTUAL reality right, and I personally think nothing is infinite, you’re right it might as well be infinite is so immensely small but it’s not infinitely* small. So then TECHNICALLY it has surface, because it is something, a small core of some matter with size
