Reply to "Comment on 'Quantization of FRW spacetimes in the presence of a cosmological constant and radiation'"

TL;DR

This paper responds to a critique of its previous numerical results, clarifying that their quantum cosmological models do not exhibit significant singular behavior despite criticisms about numerical precision and new ideas on singularity characterization.

Contribution

It defends previous findings on quantum cosmological models, emphasizing their robustness against singularity, and addresses criticisms regarding numerical accuracy and interpretation.

Findings

Numerical results are valid despite criticism.

Quantum models show minimal signs of singularity.

Clarification on the interpretation of quantum cosmological behavior.

Abstract

The Comment by Amore {\it et al.} [gr-qc/0611029] contains a valid criticism of the numerical precision of the results reported in a recent paper of ours [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 73}, 044022 (2006)], as well as fresh ideas on how to characterize a quantum cosmological singularity. However, we argue that, contrary to what is suggested in the Comment, the quantum cosmological models we studied show hardly any sign of singular behavior.
