In this paper, we describe physical effects occurring in the regularized Robertson-Walker spacetime which can reveal the presence of the defect. Our analysis is based on two main physical quantities: the compressive forces acting on (human) observers and the energy possessed by massive particles and photons during their dynamical evolution. In Sec. 3, we claim that with a characteristic length scale of the order of the Planck length compressive forces become so intense near the defect that no (human) observer is able to cross it. In Sec. 4, we show that the energy exhibits an unusual character over a small time interval around the bounce contrasting with the behaviour in the standard cosmology picture. We conclude the paper with some considerations and open problems related to our results.

Brane Symmetries Revisited: Symmetries of Tensile and Tensionless Branes in Possibly Degenerate Metrics and their Manifestations
Tensionless p-branes and branes in degenerate-metric spacetimes admit symmetry transformations built from Killing tensors of arbitrary rank, extending string W-symmetries to all brane dimensions.

Null geodesics, causal structure, and matter accretion in Lorentzian-Euclidean black holes
In the Lorentzian-Euclidean black hole, photons and massive particles are claimed to be unable to cross the event horizon, making the spacetime geodesically complete and avoiding the central singularity.

Complex degenerate metrics in general relativity: a covariant extension of the Moore-Penrose algorithm
A covariant Moore-Penrose algorithm for complex degenerate metrics is formulated, but its uniqueness and torsion interpretation depend on an arbitrary auxiliary metric and the central proof is incomplete.
