Methods of noncommutative geometry are applied to deal with singular space-times in general relativity. Such space-times are modeled by noncommutative von Neumann algebras of random operators. Even the strongest singularities turn out to be probabilistically irrelevant. Only when one goes to the usual (commutative) regime, via a suitable transition process, space-time emerges and singularities become significant.
