broken in this sense means that we're going beyond the bonds of what we currently know and that singularities do not fit into what we know in a practical sense

I think we might be in disagreement on the definition of a singularity.  What do you consider a singularity, especially in the context of the Big Bang cosmology?  Does the singularity physically exist?  Does it mathematically exist?  Is there evidence to support or debunk it or are researchers trying to find evidence?

 

The singularity is just a mathematical signal that our model does not apply in this realm.  Researchers are not looking for physical evidence that supports an infinitely dense universe... instead, they're building a new theory that doesn't include the singularity.  

 

i think the theory is that blacks holes individually contain a singularity at their center, that the gravitational effects of black holes are actually a result of the singularity

i think that's how they're trying to tie singularities to our realm
