General relativity predicts its own demise at singularities, but also appears to conveniently shield itself from the catastrophic consequences of such singularities, making them safe. For instance, if strong cosmic censorship were…
A central idea in general relativity is that physics should not depend on the space-time coordinates in use \cite{einstein}. But the qualitative description of various phenomena can appear superficially quite different. Here we consider…
