Well what do you think of the so called black holes with and without singularities or with and without trapping horizons?

Personally I don’t believe in the singularity inside black holes, nor do I believe black holes can actually form an event horizion. The rate of time advancing will slow down to zero, so the matter will stop compressing.

Eggheads who work the math (Einstein’s equations) argue that it takes a finite time to fall into the black hole, in the reference frame of the falling matter. Great — but outside the black hole an infinite time must pass for that to occur. So it never happens. No singularity. But that’s just my opinion.
