- If there are no singularities, there's no issue about what happens when
- things fall into singularities! Notice that there still could be event
- horizons, black holes etc.. Anyway, the loop representation is not well
- developed enough yet to do calculations about what black holes would
- look like. We're working on it though.

- Let me know when it turns out that we are in a black hole.
