If you want to cross singularity, wrap it!

In two-dimensional string theory, a probe D0-brane does not see the black hole singularity due to a cancellation between its metric coupling and the dilaton coupling. A similar mechanism may work in the Schwarzschild black hole in large D dimensions by considering a suitable wrapped membrane. From the asymptotic observer, the wrapped membrane looks disappearing into nothing while the continuation of the time-like trajectory beyond the singularity suggests that it would reappear as an instantaneous space-like string stretching from the singularity. A null trajectory can be extended to a null trajectory beyond the singularity. Not only the effective particle but an effective string from the wrapped membrane can exhibit the same feature.
