From Thomas R Love:
Re: Paper takes swipe at bedrock law of physics (Oct. 14): The author is piling one fantasy on top of another. When Einstein’s general theory of relativity led to the big bang, it should have been viewed as a reductio ad absurdum—a disproof of the theory. Instead it was viewed as a great new discovery. The same with black holes. Einstein wanted to develope a theory without singularities because the existence of singularities proves the theory is wrong.

Thomas R. Love States: "Einstein wanted to develope a theory without singularities because the existence of singularities proves the theory is wrong.:
I would slightly modify to state: the existence of singularities proves the theory is *incomplete*, and cannot be applied without more to the domain of physics to which it is nonetheless being applied.
