There is a new paper on singularities https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.17910
My understanding is that most cosmologists dont take singularities very seriously as we need a quantum theory fo gravity to resolve them. In particular the statement that time ends in a black hole or began at the big bang are dubious until we get a quantum theory of gravity, then we will know.
Is there any reason to think this new paper actually proves there was a singularity? Any thoughts or explanations for a lay person would be much appreciated.
