What makes one black hole bigger than another?

As long as you are far away from the singularity, there is no difference that you can tell from a star. The gravity is the same. Gravity b... | The term singularity does not always refer to a physical object. It can also mean an end-point of logical reasoning that inhibits further progress in logical reasoning. For example, a result in our calculations that gives us an infinity or a zero where we think that shouldn't actually hold true.
