Spacetime Singularities and Invariance
Belgrade Philosophical Annual 29:67-78 (2016)
Abstract
This paper explains why spacetime singularities do not constitute a breakdown of physical laws, and points out that the difference between the metrics at singularities and those outside of singularities is factual, rather than nomological.Author's Profile
