    Curvature Singularity: Necessary & Sufficient Conditions

    For a physical singularity I think it is sufficient that anyone scalar quantity blows up, Why is it not a necessary condition that all blow up? For a curvature singularity am I correct in thinking that it is a sufficient condition to find a coordinate system in which the metric coefficient no...
