Since what happens past the Event Horizon is unavailable to us with our present understanding of physics, I realize the interior could be anything from a point to a volume equal to or just smaller than the Event Horizon…or any size in between.

The classic “Black Hole” has a “structure” proposed by Schwarzchild…commonly accepted by the scientific community.

The afore mentioned Gravastar proposed and formulated by Mazur and Mottola as an alternative to the black hole.

_Both are solutions according to General Relativity and operate the same way “outside” the event horizon._

It simply occurred to me that a construct based on the Planck Scale as a metric could place an ultimate limit of “smallness” using known physics.

Before Max Planck formulated the quantum…h or h-bar…scientists assumed energy was emitted or absorbed on a continuum.

If energy can be reduced to discrete “chuncks” like photons, maybe density can, too.
