A Wheeler-DeWitt guide through cosmological singularities

Can quantum uncertainty resolve cosmological singularities within the Wheeler–DeWitt description itself? Introducing an observer's proper time turns the problem into evolution resembling scattering in a central potential. The talk describes a smooth quantum bounce for a radiation-filled universe, with large scale-factor uncertainty, and explains why anisotropy introduces a critical attractive potential. That harder regime motivates extending the classical BKL account of singularities into quantum theory.
