Existence Without Observation?
Black holes and cosmological singularities mark regions in modern physics where established theories fail. This failure is typically interpreted as an indication of yet-unknown physical laws. The present article proposes a radically different interpretation: the failure is not primarily epistemic, but ontological. Physical lawfulness presupposes the possibility of observation. Where observation is excluded, concepts such as “state,” “law,” and “existence” lose their meaning. Singularities are therefore not places with hidden structure, but boundary phenomena where reality is not yet actualized, at most potential. The assumption of lawfully structured but unobservable realities turns out to be a metaphysical postulate, not a scientific necessity.
