Abstract

Standard cosmology regards the singularity as the cosmic origin with infinite density and minimal volume, from which all matter, energy and spacetime originate. This paper refutes this view based on fundamental causal logic. As a structured entity carrying all cosmic substances and information, the singularity itself needs reasonable origin interpretation. Its expansion and transition demand definite trigger conditions, confinement mechanism and timing causes, which mainstream physical theories fail to elaborate clearly. Current academia evades related puzzles by claiming theoretical failure at the singularity and the non-existence of pre-singularity time. It also adopts contradictory criteria: treating the singularity as a mathematical breakdown limit in theoretical derivation while taking it as the exclusive physical starting point in cosmic evolution narration. This study emphasizes that physical research must make a clear choice: either acknowledge the singularity cannot serve as a valid cosmic origin, or fulfill complete causal interpretation obligations if recognizing its primacy. The two contradictory stances cannot be simultaneously held.
