A gravity control pet, obviously. Oh, also a black hole, well it's more specific than that but for our purposes a black hole.

What's a singularity?

Hahaha! Yeah, reddit has a few threads noting that it shouldn't have been Dr. Snow that asked that question (or that it should have been phrased differently if she had to say it).

Well she is a biologist ... working at a particle accelerator.  Did she always work there or was she visiting Ronny when it went BOOM! and stayed on to study Barry when he was in the coma?  I don't remember.  If it was the later then there's an excuse for not knowing.

During ep 16, I wondered why the writers decided to have her be the one to advise Barry on how to stop the tsunami.

Edit: Or, rather, why they decided that she'd be ABLE to advise him on something like that.

It shouldn't be surprising that the writers can't stay consistent on Caitlyn's areas of expertise over the course of a season given that they can't even settle on one time travel metaphysics in one episode.

Well, after spending time going 'round and 'round mentally, trying to figure out how the finale shakes out, I have to agree with both Chiefs O'Brien in the DS9 episode, "Visionary": I HATE TEMPORAL MECHANICS!

Spoiler for Hidden:
The reason that everybody is going to go on as if the whole season has actually happened even though Thawne being eliminated should have changed the timeline is this.  Everybody who was close to the wormhole was unaffected by the change.  The real Wells will be brought up to speed by Cisco and Caitlin.  Close to the wormhole will be defined by what the writers do and don't want to be changed.

It wasn't Eddie's death that got Eobard.  I suspect Eddie being drawn into the wormhole pulled him into the future where his life was easily saved by the future technology.  Eobard found out that traveling to the past to kill Flash was going to work out poorly for him so he didn't make the trip.  Eddie is going to wind up being a variation of Cobalt Blue.

When Barry entered the black hole he wound up on Earth 2.  That is where White Canary in Legends comes from.  She isn't the Sara Lance from Earth 1 but the one from Earth 2 where she was taken to the Lazarus pit soon after her death.  That is also where we see Caitlin as Killer Frost and Cisco as Vibe.  And it is where the version of Firestorm we see in Legends comes from.  Professor Stein merged with somebody else there.  Our Earth 1 characters are going to continue on as they are while the next season jumps back and forth between the two Earths.  And hopefully Barry is going to meet up with Jay because that would be awesome.

I may expand on this theory as more ideas pop into my head or more hints of the upcoming season happen.

Well, Wells was busy killing Cisco so that left her.  So if you know a killer Tsunami is heading for the city and the only tool you have is someone with super speed ... run back and forth in front of it seems to be the only course of action anyone would suggest.

Well between the Indonesia and Japan Tsunami's, I think the general public is now familiar with that term.  Not a lot of singularities on the evening news.

r.e. Dr. Snow's knowledge base - just read the latest comic where we find out she helped co-design a manned satellite.

Which I would guess be the life support system because of her MEDICAL background and not QUANTUM PHYSICS OR ASTRONOMY.

I learned about singularities in college like 30 years ago and I wasn't even a science major.
I find it hard to believe someone working at Star Labs, on a particle accelerator project, wouldn't at least have a basic idea.

Obviously it was there for the stupid viewers at home who may not know what it is, but still it seemed out of place coming from anyone in that room.

Another question - is the future Flash maybe from the timeline Barry altered when he DID save his mom, but it turned out worse and his future self warned him off to put things back the right way?

Either way future Flash shouldn't really exist either anymore after Thawne caused Barry to become the Flash years sooner.

Time travel gives me nose bleeds.

And we STILL don't know why Thawne hates Barry so much to try and kill him.

I assume that the future Barry/Flash had already saved his mother's life, and experienced the events shown in the 2011 comic series Flashpoint and 2013 animated video: Justice League - The Flashpoint Paradox.  This would be more than enough reason in my book to have the future Flash warn Barry about changing his mother's status.
