AI Thread Summary
Fuzzball theory offers a potential solution to the black hole singularity issue by suggesting that singularities may not be physical entities. Loop quantum gravity is also mentioned as an alternative approach to eliminate singularities. While these theories present mathematical frameworks, there is skepticism regarding their physical implications and the lack of testable predictions. The discussion emphasizes that mere mathematical plausibility is insufficient for acceptance in the scientific community. Overall, the conversation highlights the ongoing search for viable alternatives to traditional black hole singularity concepts.

I know that string theory is not the flavor of the month, but the fuzzball idea circumvents the singularity
which i think is a possible step forwards, is there any other theory that replaces the black hole singularity?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.
The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...
Why was the Hubble constant assumed to be decreasing and slowing down (decelerating) the expansion rate of the Universe, while at the same time Dark Energy is presumably accelerating the expansion? And to thicken the plot. recent news from NASA indicates that the Hubble constant is now increasing. Can you clarify this enigma? Also., if the Hubble constant eventually decreases, why is there a lower limit to its value?
