Hello there.We know that spacetime may have singularities and the current theories can not describe it very much.I want to start reading about quantum gravity but what is the progress done so far for the resolution of questions about the singularity?Could a different approach perhaps a deterministic macroscopic theory provide the resolution of the unanswered questions for the description of spacetime singularities?What is your opinion on this?Thank you.

It depends on which physicist you ask. The real question is, do we have a good theory of quantum gravity, and the answer is no.

Please review the PF rules on personal speculations.
