Abstract: Standard general relativity predicts that a black hole's core collapses to a singularity – a point of infinite density, infinite gravity, and zero volume. This infinity is widely viewed as a sign that Einstein's theory is incomplete, often motivating the search for quantum gravity. We show that the singularity is not inevitable. Using the cosmic energy compression theory of gravity – in which gravity is the finite inward compression of cosmic energy into cavities carved by mass, spin, density, and motion – the collapse of a black hole halts at a natural limit. The compression field has a maximum possible depth determined by the properties of cosmic energy itself. The core collapses to a very dense but finite object, not a point. Gravity becomes extremely strong but never infinite. Thus, infinite gravity at a black hole's core is a mathematical artifact of general relativity, not a physical necessity. Removing it requires no quantum gravity – only a classical finite compression field. The whole universe is not threatened with collapse because gravity remains finite and localised.
