But most scientists think singularities don’t really exist, that they’re just a sign that equations have broken down and fail to adequately describe reality.


I didn’t actually know that this was the case. I thought black holes were thought to be real physical phenomena. It’s not for me to say that they are or they ain’t but I thought the experts thought they were as real as pulsars, quasars, supernovae, etc.

They do think that the black holes are real, but the idea that these black holes are singularities does not jibe with conventional notions of physics.
