Here is Ben’s theory about the impossibility of black hole and big bang singularities.
I think once we understand the Higgs mechanism better, we will discover that above a certain temperature, which rises as we work backward in time to make the universe more dense, the opposite of “condensation” happens. The bosons no longer have mass. No mass, no gravity; no longer contributing gravity means the very force that is squeezing things together stops squeezing at the core. I believe this should put a limit on how dense things can be, so it is impossible to form a singularity, if you cannot pass this density limit at the extreme interior.
I wish I knew a lick of math, so I could even comprehend what SU(2) × U(1) means. Sadly, I’ll have no chance of writing a paper and winning a Nobel prize. Math is hard.
