Yeah, my bad. Anyways thanks.

Okay, I can see that K diverging at infinity would not be so unexpected. So what you're saying is that if K blows up at some ordinary point in your coordinate system (which I guess might map to infinity in some other coordinate system), that point isn't necessarily a gravitational singularity...

Hello, As I'm sure you are aware the Kretschmann scalar (formed by contracting the contravariant and covariant Riemann tensors) has some use in the identification of gravitational singularities. Specifically, because K is essentially the sum of all permutations of R's components, but is...
