Typically, a singularity is similar to a divide by zero in an equation- a movement towards infinity.
Is infinity requried to explain the TOE? It seems likely- there are many aspects of our universe that indicate it may be infinite in one direction or another, even in the direction of a singularity.
However, like a singularity drawn on a piece of graph paper- there may be no way to truly know if it is ACTUALLY a singularity, or is just the appearance of one. Hopefully the TOE would clear up that distinction for us.
