Cosmic Censorship Viewed Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Penrose (2004: 714):

It is generally believed that the spacetime singularities of gravitational collapse will necessarily always lie within an event horizon, so that whatever happen to be the extraordinary physical effects at such a singularity, these will be hidden from view of any external observer. This is not a mathematically established property of general relativity, however. The assumption that the singularities will always be so hidden is referred to as cosmic censorship…

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, not only are events near the singularity unobservable because the means of observation, light, is contained within the event horizon, but because of the expansion of time intervals there, such processes would take virtually forever to unfold, relative to the unfolding of processes outside the black hole, such as the process of observation.
