A number of press outlets are reporting a new work that appears in Physical Review D that it might be possible to observe naked singularities.
See the story here:

It got me thinking about quantum gravity. Some theories of quantum gravity ( perhaps all?) claim to remove singularities so if these observations were to be made, would that mean we would have to throw quantum gravity theories that forbid singularities?
