Do strings prevent a black hole singularity? [duplicate]
Spacetime singularities are problematic in quantum gravity. String theory offers a way to construct such a quantum gravity.
Do strings offer a solution to this problem in the sense that point-like ...

What does M-theory predict at the singularity of a black hole?
how does M-theory avoid problems like infinite density and geodesic incompleteness.
like, is there a fundamental limit to where matter can collapse or simply does matter decay and form a condensate of ...

Does string theory remove the singularity of black holes? [duplicate]
One of the reasons we want a theory of
Quantum gravity is to understand black holes and string theory is the most popular approach, but so far I haven't seen any attempt of the theory to remove the ...

Curing spacetime singularities by a higher-curvature gravitational Lagrangian
It is well known that the self-energy of a point charge is diverging in the classical (Maxwell) electrodynamics. In 1930's, Born and Infeld introduced their nonlinear electrodynamics (with a ...

Does a Black-hole Represent a Limit To The Value of Energy-density? [closed]
I've recently read an article that stated the singularity of a black hole could be a string, which is stipulated to be pure energy.
If that's the case, does this mean that the singularity of a black ...

Where is the Physical Singularity under the Holographic Principle?
From this article, it states that
The holographic principle states that the entropy of ordinary mass (not just black holes) is also proportional to surface area and not volume; that volume itself ...

In string theory, what replaces the black hole singularity? [duplicate]
In string theory, what replaces the black hole singularity?
I know that it is possible for a single string to have arbitrarily large energy. Is a black hole just a single string?

How many types of Singularities has string theory successfully resolved?
Except for proposing the fuzzball as a solution for black hole singularity, has string theory successfully explained/dealt with any other form of spacelike or timelike singularities? Kindly explain

Black hole singularity in string theory [duplicate]
There is a consensus in theoretical physics that the singularity at the center of a black hole is a mathematical consequence of the fact that general relativity is a classical theory which does not ...

What does string theory predict for the singularity inside a black hole?
The usual explanation for what's going on inside a black hole goes something like "General Relativity predicts a singularity with infinite curvature, but when matters gets so tightly compressed we ...

Can a fuzzball collapse into a singularity?
I've been reading Kip Thorne's Black Holes and Time Warps and got curious about extreme states of degenerate matter; a little research reveals that since the book was written quark and preon ...

Black Hole Singularity and String Theory
This question arises in a somewhat naive form because I am largely unfamiliar with String Theory. I do know that it incorporates higher space dimensions where I shall take the overall dimensionality ...
