A nonsingular universe
Abstract
The Einstein theory of gravitation breaks down at very high curvatures. We propose a modification of the theory at Planck curvatures for which all isotropic cosmological solutions (even including matter) are nonsingular. All solutions asymptotically approach de Sitter space, a solution with limiting curvature.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
