The basic idea of The Singularity is that as change accelerates, we will hit a singularity (in the mathematical sense, just like the singularity at the heart of a black hole). A place where the rules are no longer predictable by the previous models.

In human terms, if we reach the Singularity, what comes after *cannot* be comprehended by the folks from before it.
