Quantum Loop Gravity is a theory currently competing with String Theory, or M Theory, to unify General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. One prediction of QLG theory is that inside of black holes there aren't actually singularities, but Planck Stars. Instead of information falling into an infinitely-small point and being trapped forever, these Planck Stars hit a certain density and rebound outwards almost immediately. So...why do we still see stable black holes? Wibbly-wobbly timey-whimey gravitational space-time warping effects. Is there any evidence for this theory? Not yet, but many the James Webb Telescope will provide some.
