On the (In?)Stability of Spacetime Inextendibility.
Leibnizian metaphysics underpins the universally held view that spacetime must be inextendible—that it must be "as large as it can be" in a sense. But here we demonstrate a surprising fact within the context of general relativity: the property of inextendibility turns out to be unstable when attenti...
