The universe obeys the "DeWitt boundary condition" which requires the wavefunctions to vanish at singularities.

(Some) singular solutions are replaced by non-singular bouncing solutions.

(Some) singular solutions are replaced by singular bouncing solutions.

(Some) singularities are resolved by wormholes/topology changes.

Singularities prevented by general relativistic time dilation approaching infinity

Modified gravitational action (as opposed to Einstein-Hilbert action) prevents singular solutions.

Spacetime is fundamentally discrete, and the discrete structure does not contain singularity.
