The singularity theorems of classical general relativity are briefly reviewed. The extent to which their conclusions might still apply when quantum theory is taken into account is discussed. There are two distinct quantum loopholes: quantum violation of the classical energy conditions, and the presence of quantum fluctuations of the spacetime geometry. The possible significance of each is discussed.

  1. Low-energy limit in the anomaly-induced action and the semiclassical cosmological bounce

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors construct a covariant, second-order local form of the low-energy anomaly-induced effective action and show numerically that it supports nonsingular bouncing cosmological solutions.

  2. Effective Phantom Dark Energy: What Cosmological Reconstruction Does and Does Not Imply

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Effective phantom dark energy is a background-level reconstruction that does not imply fundamental pathologies such as ghost instabilities or null energy condition violation by the underlying stress tensor.
