True! Hmm. I retract my statement: Penrose/Hawking predict that all GR black holes contain singularities.
In our universe, it looks like inflation is the fly in that particular prediction: The universe is going to tear itself apart instead.

- pja 10y agoNo, just inflation taking the rest of the universe over the horizon - I believe it’s the dynamic effects of being in an inflationary universe that mean that the standard GR results for black holes don’t apply, at least according to the references I read. (I can’t pretend to be able to derive this stuff personally.)
