Cosmic censorship violation in 5D

Singularities null the predictability of a physical theory. This issue may be avoided by positing the cosmic censorship, which states that, all singularities are hidden behind the horizons and can not be seen from the rest of space-time. However, this although seems comfortable, but no more than a proposal. Counter examples have already existed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_censorship]. Here is another counter example found in 5D space-time [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 101102 (2010)].
