Before anybody gets too excited there are 2 things to keep in mind: 1) There is overwhelming empirical evidence that Black Holes DO exist, so if a theoretician says they don't then that's the theoretician's problem not the Black Hole's. 2) The most interesting sentence in the article was The

There are objects that are way too massive to be anything but black holes (if our current understanding of general relativity is correct). I believe the core of M104 (the Sombrero galaxy) is about one billion solar masses, for example. But to be fair, I'm not sure exactly what is being claimed in

The singularity is an inference from general relativity extrapolated to arbitrarily short distances and high densities...where it cannot apply because it's not consistent with quantum mechanics. When your equation predicts a singularity, it just means you've gone beyond the domain of
