Abstract: For general gravitational collapse, inside the black-hole region, singularities $(r=0)$ may arise. In this article, we aim to answer how strong these singularities could be. We analyse the behaviours of various geometric quantities. In particular, we show that in the most singular scenario, the Kretschmann scalar obeys polynomial blow-up upper bounds $O(1/r^N)$. This improves previously best-known double-exponential upper bounds $$. Our result is sharp in the sense that there are known examples showing that no sub-polynomial upper bound could hold. Finally we do a case study on perturbations of the Schwarzschild solution.
