Penrose-Hawking Singularity Theorems 0
The Penrose-Hawking Singularity Theorems establish conditions under which gravitational collapse or the expansion of the universe leads inevitably to singularities in spacetime, regions where the known laws of physics breakdown. These theorems leverage the concept of geodesic incompleteness, demonstrating that singularities are an intrinsic feature of general relativity rather than a mathematical artifact.
