Kerr dropped a paper last winter that is interesting about the claims of Hawking etc.. https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00841 > In conclusion, I have tried to show that whatever the Penrose and Hawking theorems prove has nothing to do with Physics breaking down and singularities appearing. Of course, it is impossible to prove that these cannot exist, but it is extremely unlikely and goes against known physics.

Plenty of physicists are still "resistant" to the idea of black holes having a real singularity. The recent Kerr paper [0] only adds fuel to this resistance with its hilarious statement "Faith, not science!" about singularity proponents. [0]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00841

FWIW, it's not clear that SgA* is actually a canonical black hole (nor that even such a thing truly exists in nature.) The EHT image is taken as confirmation but the accuracy of that technique has been called into question: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.04623 Edit: In response to the downvotes, here are 2 very good sources who at least argue against the existence of singularities and their event horizons. 1: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.00841 2: https://uncnewsarchive.unc.edu/2014/09/23/carolinas-laura-me... I don't know exactly when science discussion turned into rigid dogma enforcement but we…

Roy Kerr has a new paper out claiming the singularity as we know it doesn’t exist. https://youtu.be/HRir6-9tsJs?si=I0Uhd4s3KMNqSC_u https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.00841.pdf

> Hear [me] out Ok. > a black hole, but we have time backwards compared to the usual way we think of black holes Observations of our universe are straightforwardly understood -- and predicted -- by laying matter fields on an expanding Robertson-Walker metric. The same observations are not at all easy to understand by laying matter fields on a time-reversed Oppenheimer-Snyder-like black hole metric. The first thing you run into is that at the largest scales (i.e., where the solid angles subtended by galaxy clusters are small for observers like us) visible matter is arranged roughly…
