and what I'm looking for is citations. Actual articles where someone in the field says something to the tune of "though there is no current experimental evidence for the actual physical existence of a singularity we believe that such evidence is only waiting to be discovered" or some such nonsense. Otherwise you don't have faith but scientists attempting to apply a mathematical model to the real world, a practice that is perfectly normal and rational. |
