We reveal that a fundamental minimal length naturally replaces the Schwarzschild singularity with future infinity, formalizing the ``asymptotic throat'' as a geometric inevitability. This scheme avoids the topology changes, multiple…

It is well-known that traversable wormhole solutions to the Einstein equations require the existence of an exotic matter source violating the null energy condition. An apparent exception is the overcharged Kerr-Newman-NUT solution of the…
