I argue that there are no physical singularities in space-time. Singular space-time models do not belong to the ontology of the world, because of a simple reason: they are concepts, defective solutions of Einstein's field equations. I discuss the actual implication of the so-called singularity theorems. In remarking the confusion and fog that emerge from the reification of singularities I hope to contribute to a better understanding of the possibilities and limits of the theory of General Relativity.

  1. Polarization Images of Solitonic Boson Stars

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Polarization images of solitonic boson stars show a correlation with optical brightness, non-monotonic dependence on sixtic coupling, and interior polarization penetration that could discriminate them from black holes.
