Aaand I don't believe in viruses. Yknow, cause I can't see it with the naked eye or something. What's that? The cough? Oh, I'm sure it's nothing.

I'm sure generations of scientists who have devoted their lives to pushing the boundaries of knowledge and discovery aren't as smart as that one blog I read on Facebook once.

Accepting the process doesn't require belief in every thing we think is probably true. It's ignorant to say someone "doesn't believe in science" because they disagree with a position currently accepted by the majority.

Science corrects for mistakes all the time. For you to try to shut that down doesn't sound like you agree with the scientific process.

I think I've seen it suggested: a hyper-dense object of some kind, which isn't a singularity.

Maybe some other effect is in play that we're ignorant to, which prevents singularity formation. This might be a clean way of explaining away why our current math breaks down at the center of these things.

To be clear, I'm not sold on the idea myself. But, if these objects are singularities (I believe this to be the case), the strangeness of them is massively underrated.
