Abstract
The d'Alembertian has solution , where is a function of a null coordinate , and this allows creation of a divergent singularity out of nothing. In scalar-Einstein theory a similar situation arises both for the scalar field and also for curvature invariants such as the Ricci scalar. Here what happens in canonical quantum gravity is investigated. Two minispace Hamiltonian systems are set up: extrapolation and approximation of these indicates that the quantum mechanical wavefunction can be finite at the origin.
