Stephen Hawking talks about observing Singularity by giving example of Astronaut who falls in a blackhole... If you have read Brief History of Time, chapter of Black Hole... please tell me what does he mean by this...
"There are some solutions of the equations of general relativity in which it is possible for our astronaut to see a naked
singularity: he may be able to avoid hitting the singularity and instead fall through a "wormhole” and come out in another
region of the universe."

I believe he means that a naked singularity is one that is not completely cut off to the world around it by the event horizon. This would allow him to "see" the singularity and possibly avoid it and travel through a wormhole created by the infinitely dense region of space.

In the case of a singularity with a truly huge amount of spin, there may be a toroidal region around the singularity in which a sort of 'tunnel' might form which could link black holes together.
