Spacetime singularities Understanding the physics of spacetime singularities is a major challenge for theoretical physics. Big Bang/Big Crunch beginning or end of time, the origin of the universe Black holes loss of information
String theory and spacetime singularities • It is generally believed that understanding spacetime singularities requires a quantum theory of gravity. • String theory is thus the natural framework to address this problem. • One hopes that string theory will lead to a detailed theory of the Big Bang which in turns leads to experimental tests of string theory.
