For example, the singularity which has infinite mass and density is a product of our ignorance and simply cannot exist.
Since infinity is a concept rather than a number it's pretty clear that you've done something horribly wrong with your math if that's what you're getting as an answer.
And yes, singularities are likely a product of our ignorance because no mainstream science predicts them. Quantum Mechanics lacks a theory of quantum gravitation, so it can't go there. General Relativity predicts a singularity IF you take the equations that far, but the big warning label on the box says that GR doesn't hold up at very small scales, so anybody using GR to predict a singularity simply doesn't understand GR's limitations.
