Could Technicolour Play a Role in Black Hole Collapse?

I know we haven't yet discovered that a technicolour force actually exists, but it seems to be worked out to some extent mathematically? (Not to say there hasn't been a false alarm, or two)

I'm just curious that if it did end up existing, has the math been worked out far enough to see if it could play a role in black hole collapse.

Is this a force that could kick in even after neutron degeneracy pressure fails, and halt collapse before a singularity forms?

It's supposed to kick in at higher energies than the strong force, which makes it sound like it could potentially play a role, but I don't have a clue really.

any insights?

A star made of techniquarks? I suppose. But in view of the fact that black holes are being found almost everywhere we look, why would we be interested in a theory that prevents them?
 
I though the technicolour force carriers would "pop" out of "normal" matter at extreme energies. How else would they find them at the LHC, where they are colliding basic particles together?

Sorry I probably wasn't clear in my OP. It's not to prevent black holes. Rather, would it prevent collapse all the way to a singularity, r=0?

You don't neen an infinitely dense "object" of zero volume to produce a black hole.
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
