AI Thread Summary
Fuzzball theory offers a potential solution to the black hole singularity issue by suggesting that singularities may not be physical entities. Loop quantum gravity is also mentioned as an alternative approach to eliminate singularities. While these theories present mathematical frameworks, there is skepticism regarding their physical implications and the lack of testable predictions. The discussion emphasizes that mere mathematical plausibility is insufficient for acceptance in the scientific community. Overall, the conversation highlights the ongoing search for viable alternatives to traditional black hole singularity concepts.

I know that string theory is not the flavor of the month, but the fuzzball idea circumvents the singularity
which i think is a possible step forwards, is there any other theory that replaces the black hole singularity?

what is the current status of the field for quantum cosmology, are there any observations that support any theory of quantum cosmology? is it just cosmology during the Planck era or does it extend past the Planck era. what are the leading candidates into research into quantum cosmology and which physics departments research it? how much respect does loop quantum cosmology has compared to string cosmology with actual cosmologists?
