Classical general relativity predicts the occurrence of spacetime singularities under very general conditions. Starting from the idea that the spacetime geometry must be described by suitable states in the complete quantum theory of matter and gravity, we shall argue that this scenario cannot be realised physically since no proper quantum state may contain the infinite momentum modes required to resolve the singularity.

Abstract
Classical general relativity predicts the occurrence of spacetime singularities under very general conditions. Starting from the idea that the spacetime geometry must be described by suitable states in the complete quantum theory of matter and gravity, we shall argue that this scenario cannot be realised physically since no proper quantum state may contain the infinite momentum modes required to resolve the singularity.File in questo prodotto:
