The singularities as ontological limits of the general relativity

Exploring the Boundaries of Space, Time, and Ontology

Title: The Singularities as Ontological Limits of General Relativity
Author: Nicolae Sfetcu

What happens when science meets the unknown? Singularities—where mathematics breaks, and philosophy begins.

A profound analysis of singularities, their ontology, and how they challenge the validity of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

Core Concepts Explored

• Singularities in General Relativity:
  • What are singularities?
  • Are they real entities or theoretical artifacts?
• The Ontological Debate:
  • The philosophical implications of space-time limits.
  • Black holes, event horizons, and the Big Bang singularity.
• General Relativity’s Boundaries:
  • Is Einstein’s theory obsolete or incomplete?

Why This Book Matters

• Science:
  • Investigates singularities beyond Einstein’s equations.
  • Analyzes competing theories like quantum gravity.
• Philosophy:
  • Explores the ontology of singularities and their implications for reality.
  • Discusses eternalism vs. presentism in the context of cosmology.
• Relevance:
  • Brings together physicists and philosophers for a dialogue on cosmological limits.

Key Takeaways

1. Singularities Exist: Theoretical evidence suggests singularities are real, but our understanding is limited.
2. Philosophy Meets Physics: Challenges to classical ontology open the door to deeper exploration.
3. A New Frontier: Examines the potential for new theories, like quantum gravity, to explain what general relativity cannot.

The Target Audience

• Physicists: Those exploring advanced concepts in general relativity and quantum mechanics.
• Philosophers: Thinkers intrigued by the nature of existence and reality.
• Academics and Students: Ideal for anyone studying cosmology, ontology, or space-time theories.
• General Readers: Science enthusiasts eager to explore the cutting edge of physics and philosophy.

Nicolae Sfetcu combines expertise in physics, philosophy, and cosmology to offer a balanced and thought-provoking exploration of singularities.

The singularities from the general relativity resulting by solving Einstein’s equations were and still are the subject of many scientific debates: Are there singularities in spacetime, or not? Big Bang was an initial singularity? If singularities exist, what is their ontology? Is the general theory of relativity a theory that has shown its limits in this case?

In this essay I argue that there are singularities, and the general theory of relativity, as any other scientific theory at present, is not valid for singularities. But that does not mean, as some scientists think, that it must be regarded as being obsolete.

After a brief presentation of the specific aspects of Newtonian classical theory and the special theory of relativity, and a brief presentation of the general theory of relativity, the chapter Ontology of General Relativity presents the ontological aspects of general relativity. The next chapter, Singularities, is dedicated to the presentation of the singularities resulting in general relativity, the specific aspects of the black holes and the event horizon, including the Big Bang debate as original singularity, and arguments for the existence of the singularities. In Singularity Ontology, I am talking about the possibilities of ontological framing of singularities in general and black holes in particular, about the hole argument highlighted by Einstein, and the arguments presented by scientists that there are no singularities and therefore that the general theory of relativity is in deadlock. In Conclusions I outline and summarize briefly the arguments that support my above views.
