Many years ago it was thought to be a blast for me to study something called theoretical physics. If you could not observe and provide quantifiable data then you weren't a physicist. Now in 2017 we have a whole institute dedicated the theoretical physics. Funny, the Institute for theoretical physics is at the University of California Santa Barbara where I graduated. But here is where the rubber hits the road, it's theoretical. We don't have anyway to tie it to reality. String theory to naked singularity to quantum foam to weak gravity to graviton to tachyon to higgs singlet to dark matter/energy are all theoretical. And based on equations. So now I hope with Cern and Fermi and Ligo we can take those next steps. Personally, naked singularities I think would crush under quantum gravity. OK, how can the densest object crush? Well the object itself doesn't per se, but it has a funnel or pipe, and that has to follow newtonion or quantum law. That wont survive. So, the singularity itself, alone, would collapse on itself or evaporate as Hawking radiation.

Sounds like a great subject, someone with a few more smarts than me can play with the subject.

SSG Diane R. I am struggling for a practical application, but some topics like quantum physics elude immediate usage.
In this case you had me at naked singularities.
