Numerical Simulations of Generic Singularities
Abstract
Numerical simulations of the approach to the singularity in vacuum spacetimes are presented here. The spacetimes examined have no symmetries and can be regarded as representing the general behavior of singularities. It is found that the singularity is spacelike and that, as it is approached, the spacetime dynamics becomes local and oscillatory.
