Err, what are they, then?

I would think Pauli exclusion would be a possibility. Or something like the
quantumness of spacetime. Can you actually fit multiple particles into one
plank-length of space?

I think first you have to define what you mean by a "singularity", then by a
"force", given that gravity isn't a force per se.
I think once you wander outside the area where the math actually is known to
work, you need some actual experimental evidence to base conclusions on. I
don't know that it's valid to say "that must behave *this* way, because
otherwise we'd divide by zero" (or "because we divide by zero"). The math
only summarizes what we know of physics. It doesn't define how physics works.
