The Singularity

A singularity is a black hole's core. A singularity contains all the mass of the black hole and can literally swallow everything (except for a bigger black hole). This means it is very dense.

Using this information, please solve this question: How dense is the singularity if it can contain everything except for a black hole bigger than it's size?

Ignore side effects like the objects orbiting around the black hole instead of destroying the object.

Contrary to the statements here, the black hole does not "eat" everything else. A planet can safely orbit around a black hole, without being swallowed.

If a black hole can contain everything it eats, and the singularity contains that mass, then it must be dense. Therefore, if it can eat almost everything, it is truly infinitely dense.
