How does the concept of the singularity relate to that of transhumanism? In science, the singularity may refer to a discontinuity or a mathematical point where an object is not defined, or to a cosmological event where measure of the gravitational field becomes infinite. In theory, the technological singularity is a conjecture about the emergence of super-intelligent minds.
