Ed ~ the obvious solution is that r is never equal to 0.
The smallest point of spacetime is 10^-42, and Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that this singularity is smeared over a finite area.
However an understanding of the physics still requires a new theory of quantum gravity to be formulated.
