TL;DR Summary
Are there any theoretical solutions to the problem of cosmic inflation and the cosmic censorship hypothesis?
Is it just waiting for empirical validation or are there still any corrections to do?

The situation is more tricky than just verification because there are so many parameters and assumptions involved in various models, for one we don't even know for sure whether inflation really happened or not as there are other viable alternatives that can explain observations without inflation though these are generally far less developed. As for cosmic censorship one thing to remember is that we know General relativity as it is currently developed is incomplete so it is very well possible perhaps even probable that within a more complete picture of general relativity the singularities may disappear altogether.

The real questions should be what is the simplest model which can resolve these apparent issues and would that have any observable consequences.

For example one of the things inflation was initially proposed to explain was the apparent homogeneity of the CMB, however the "isotropic CMB" is only obtained under the kinematic dipole hypothesis which has been assumed to be true. There was an experimental test which was devised that would be able to verify or falsify this assumption by constructing a dipole from cosmologically distant sources and checking if it is the same magnitude and direction as the CMB dipole which should be the case if the dipole is kinematic, however it was realized you need millions of sources in order to construct a dipole of sufficient accuracy to test this to any degree of confidence. Keep in mind most studies of cosmological objects generally have only had tens to hundreds of thousands of objects at most which means even relatively famous results like the "discovery" of dark energy(which really is the discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating dark energy is an interpretation to explain that observation) was only just above 3 sigma significance.

This was recently finally tested with a sample size above a million sources in "A test of the cosmological principal with quasars" Nathan J Secrest et al 2021 APJL 908 L51

Using a final sample of 1.36 million cosmologically distant quasars after extracting known sources of contamination they found a dipole which has a 4.9 sigma discrepancy with the CMB which if verified is more than enough to falsify the assumption that the CMB dipole is purely kinematic.

If there is a cosmological component to the dipole then it isn't anomalously homogeneous so one of the major lines of evidence inflation was proposed to explain vanishes leaving only the apparent lack of magnetic mono poles as a mystery which needs inflation or something similar to explain.

In light of this and related work studying the full Inhomogenous and anisotropic Einstein field equations I'm increasingly skeptical that inflation is even needed at all.

Also with the recent discovery of the gravitational path integral and its ability to solve the information paradox without requiring supersymmetry or string theory gives me hope we may see quantum gravity arise sooner than later with far less necessary assumptions.
 
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
So, to calculate a proper time of a worldline in SR using an inertial frame is quite easy. But I struggled a bit using a "rotating frame metric" and now I'm not sure whether I'll do it right. Couls someone point me in the right direction? "What have you tried?" Well, trying to help truly absolute layppl with some variation of a "Circular Twin Paradox" not using an inertial frame of reference for whatevere reason. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge so I made a derivation or...
I started reading a National Geographic article related to the Big Bang. It starts these statements: Gazing up at the stars at night, it’s easy to imagine that space goes on forever. But cosmologists know that the universe actually has limits. First, their best models indicate that space and time had a beginning, a subatomic point called a singularity. This point of intense heat and density rapidly ballooned outward. My first reaction was that this is a layman's approximation to...
