Dispersive censor of acoustic spacetimes with a shock-wave singularity

A dispersionless shock wave in a fluid without friction develops an acoustic spacetime singularity which is naked (not hidden by a horizon). We show that this naked nondispersive shock-wave singularity is prohibited to form in a Bose-Einstein condensate, due to the microscopic structure of the underlying aether and the resulting effective trans-Planckian dispersion. Approaching the instant
of shock t_shock, rapid spatial oscillations of density and velocity develop around the shock location, which begin to emerge already slightly before t_shock}, due to the quantum pressure in the condensate. These oscillations render the acoustic spacetime structure completely regular, and therefore lead to a removal (censoring) of the spacetime singularity. Thus, distinct from the cosmic censorship hypothesis of Penrose formulated within Einsteinian gravity, the quantum pressure in Bose-Einstein
condensates censors (prohibits) the formation of a naked shock-wave singularity, instead of hiding it behind a horizon.
