The black hole information loss paradox is a catch-all term for a family of puzzles related to black hole evaporation. For almost 50 years, the quest to elucidate the implications of black hole evaporation has not only sustained momentum, but has also become increasingly populated with proposals that seem to generate more questions than they purport to answer. Scholars often neglect to acknowledge ongoing discussions within black hole thermodynamics and statistical mechanics when analyzing the paradox, including (...) the interpretation of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, which is far from settled. To remedy the dialectical gridlock, I have formulated an overarching, unified framework, which I call ``Black Hole Paradoxes'', that integrates the debates and taxonomizes the relevant `camps' or philosophical positions. -/- I demonstrate that black hole evaporation within Hawking's semi-classical framework insinuates how late-time Hawking radiation is an entangled global system, a contradiction in terms. The relevant forms of information loss are associated with a decrease in maximal Boltzmann entropy and an increase in global von Neumann entropy respectively, which engender what I've branded the ``paradox of phantom entanglement''. Prospective solutions are then tasked with demonstrating how late-time Hawking radiation is either exclusively an entangled subsystem, in which a black hole remnant lingers as an information safehouse, or exclusively an unentangled global system, in which information is evacuated to the exterior. -/- The disagreement between safehouse and evacuation solutions boils down to the statistical interpretation of thermodynamic black hole entropy, i.e., Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Safehouse solutions attribute Bekenstein-Hawking entropy to a minority of black hole degrees of freedom, those that are associated with the horizon. Evacuation solutions, in contrast, attribute Bekenstein-Hawking entropy to all black hole degrees of freedom. I argue that the interpretation of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is the litmus test to vet the overpopulated proposal space. So long as any proposal rejecting Hawking's original calculation independently derives black hole evaporation, globally conserves degrees of freedom and entanglement, preserves a version of semi-classical gravity at sub-Planckian scales, and describes black hole thermodynamics in statistical terms, then it counts as a genuine solution to the paradox.

To what extent does the black hole information paradox lead to violations of quantum mechanics? I explain how black hole complementarity provides a framework to articulate how quantum characterizations of black holes can remain consistent despite the information paradox. I point out that there are two ways to cash out the notion of consistency in play here: an operational notion and a descriptive notion. These two ways of thinking about consistency lead to (at least) two principles (...) of black hole complementarity: an operational principle and a descriptive principle. Our background philosophy of science regarding realism/instrumentalism might initially lead us to prefer one principle over the other. However, the recent physics literature, which applies tools from quantum information theory and quantum computational complexity theory to various thought experiments involving quantum systems in or around black holes, implies that the operational principle is successful where the descriptive principle is not. This then lets us see that for operationalists the black hole information paradox might no longer be pressing. (shrink)

This paper redefines black holes as structured resonance phase transitions rather than singularities. Using the PAS_n metric developed within CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems), black holes are reframed not as points of infinite density but as coherence collapse zones in a chiral resonance field. Recent findings from Liberati et al. (2025) suggest that singularities and event horizons may be non-essential or misleading artifacts of incomplete field models. This work formalizes that intuition within a mathematically grounded (...) resonance topology, introduces structured coherence dynamics (PAS_n), and provides testable predictions for gravitational wave signatures, photon ring distortions, and harmonic radiation emissions. It represents the first field-coherent alternative to singularity-based black hole models and reframes gravity as phase compression rather than geometric curvature. (shrink)

Macroscopic irreversible processes emerge from fundamental physical laws of reversible character. The source of the local irreversibility seems to be not in the laws themselves but in the initial and boundary conditions of the equations that represent the laws. In this work we propose that the screening of currents by black hole event horizons determines, locally, a preferred direction for the flux of electromagnetic energy. We study the growth of black hole event horizons due to the cosmological expansion (...) and accretion of cosmic microwave background radiation, for different cosmological models. We propose generalized McVittie co-moving metrics and integrate the rate of accretion of cosmic microwave background radiation onto a supermassive black hole over cosmic time. We find that for flat, open, and closed Friedmann cosmological models, the ratio of the total area of the black hole event horizons with respect to the area of a radial co-moving space-like hypersurface always increases. Since accretion of cosmic radiation sets an absolute lower limit to the total matter accreted by black holes, this implies that the causal past and future are not mirror symmetric for any spacetime event. The asymmetry causes a net Poynting flux in the global future direction; the latter is in turn related to the ever increasing thermodynamic entropy. Thus, we expose a connection between four different “time arrows”: cosmological, electromagnetic, gravitational, and thermodynamic. (shrink)

Black holes are arguably the most extraordinary physical objects we know in the universe. Despite our thorough knowledge of black hole dynamics and our ability to solve Einstein’s equations in situations of ever increasing complexity, the deeper implications of the very existence of black holes for our understanding of space, time, causality, information, and many other things remain poorly understood. In this paper I survey some of these problems. If something is going to be clear (...) from my presentation, I hope it will be that around black holes science and metaphysics become more interwoven than anywhere else in the universe. (shrink)

This paper investigates the cultural significance of black holes and suns as metaphors in continental European literature and art, drawing on theoretical insights from French continental authors such as Jean-François Lyotard and Ray Brassier. Lyotard suggests that black holes signify the ultimate form of the sublime, representing the displacement of humanity and our unease with our place in the cosmos. On the other hand, Brassier views black holes as a consequence of the entropic dissolution (...) of matter, reflecting physical reality's indifference to subjective or teleological significance. The study also presents a curated collection of literary works and artworks that employ black holes and suns as metaphors, examining the emergence of these metaphorical objects and identifying discursive and epistemological shifts in society. Furthermore, this collaborative research project, involving the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo and the Federal Fluminense University in Brazil, and the Charles University in Prague in the Czech Republic, aims to provide a valuable resource for further academic inquiry.

The ontology behind quantum mechanics has been the subject of endless debate since the theory was formulated some 100 years ago. It has been suggested, at one time or another, that the objects described by the theory may be individual particles, waves, fields, ensembles of particles, observers, and minds, among many other possibilities. I maintain that these disagreements are due in part to a lack of precision in the use of the theory’s various semantic designators. In particular, there is some (...) confusion about the role of representation, reference, and denotation in the theory. In this article, I first analyze the role of the semantic apparatus in physical theories in general and then discuss the corresponding ontological implications for quantum mechanics. Subsequently, I consider the extension of the theory to quantum fields and then analyze the semantic changes of the designators with their ontological consequences. In addition to the classical arguments to rule out a particle ontology in the case of non-relativistic quantum field theory, I show how the existence of black holes makes the proposal of a particle ontology in general spacetimes unfeasible. I conclude by proposing a provisional pluralistic ontology of fields and spacetime and discussing some prospects for possible future ontological economies. (shrink)

Black holes are extremely relativistic objects. Physical processes around them occur in a regime where the gravitational field is extremely intense. Under such conditions, our representations of space, time, gravity, and thermodynamics are pushed to their limits. In such a situation philosophical issues naturally arise. In this chapter I review some philosophical questions related to black holes. In particular, the relevance of black holes for the metaphysical dispute between presentists and eternalists, the origin of (...) the second law of thermadynamics and its relation to black holes, the problem of information, black holes and hypercomputing, the nature of determinsim, and the breakdown of predictability in black hole space-times. I maintain that black hole physics can be used to illuminate some important problems in the border between science and philosophy, either epistemology and ontology. (shrink)

This paper proposes a novel interpretation of black hole interiors grounded in a non-metric, field-theoretic ontology. Rather than treating black holes as geometric singularities—regions where the spacetime curvature diverges—we argue that they should be understood as saturated regimes of a fundamental field, where the internal dynamics of physical structure become frozen. In this view, spacetime geometry is not primitive, but a projective effect, emergent only in regimes where the generative field supports local differentiation. The event horizon is (...) reinterpreted as a projective boundary: the limit beyond which the conditions necessary for geometric structuring cease to hold. Within the saturated zone, there is no divergence, but rather a breakdown in the applicability of geometry. This perspective resolves the singularity problem without requiring quantization of geometry and offers a new model of black hole evaporation: as desaturation of the field restores dynamical variation, the geometric structure re-emerges and the horizon recedes. This reinterpretation avoids the information loss paradox, supports ontological continuity across regimes, and invites a revision of foundational assumptions about the relationship between matter, geometry, and spacetime.

This document explores the phenomena of gravitation, black holes, and quasars within the framework of the infinite quantum field theory, which integrates space, time, matter, and energy into a unified model of reality. Gravitation is redefined as an emergent manifestation of the field's self-compression, leading to spatial curvature and the formation of regions with extreme energy concentration, such as black holes. Black holes are described as manifestations of inverse intentionality, where energy is channeled inward, (...) creating gravitational singularities. In contrast, quasars embody extensional intentionality, redistributing energy through massive emissions that shape galactic structures. The theory posits a dynamic interplay between the compression (gravitational contraction) and expansion (energy emission), driving cosmic evolution. This balance between black holes and quasars reflects the fundamental unity of opposites, underscoring the dynamic nature of space and time as modifiable entities within the quantum field. By highlighting these interconnected phenomena, the infinite quantum field theory offers a comprehensive and philosophically profound perspective on the mechanisms governing the universe's structure and evolution.

This paper explores the phenomena of "dark matter" and "black holes" within the framework of infinite quantum field theory, presenting them as interconnected and complementary aspects of cosmic dynamics. "Dark matter" arises from the interference between discrete particle orbits and indiscernible distant energy states, manifesting as a diffuse yet pervasive energetic presence. Its continuous growth reflects the expansive nature of the quantum field's self-modifying processes. Conversely, "black holes" are portrayed as loci of energy concentration and reintegration, (...) counterbalancing the expansive energy of "dark matter." These phenomena embody a dynamic equilibrium: "dark matter" represents outward expansion, while "black holes" serve as inward, transformative processes that stabilize the infinite quantum field. The study highlights the ontological and philosophical implications of these phenomena, emphasizing their complementarity and their role in maintaining universal harmony. Additionally, it proposes mathematical and experimental directions to model the interference mechanism of "dark matter" and the transformative dynamics within "black holes." This synthesis redefines these cosmic phenomena as emergent processes within the infinite quantum field, bridging the domains of quantum physics, cosmology, and philosophy. (shrink)

I present a quantum gravitational model of black holes that resolves key paradoxes in black hole physics, including the information loss problem, singularity issue, and thermodynamic inconsistencies. By integrating insights from Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), AdS/CFT holography, and String Theory’s fuzzball paradigm, we propose a quantum-corrected black hole metric that introduces an inner Planck-scale horizon, preventing singularity formation. Our model naturally modifies black hole entropy, incorporating quantized microstates consistent with both LQG area spectrum and holographic (...) principles. Additionally, I derive a Schrödinger-like wave equation for black hole microstates, demonstrating that black holes evolve as quantum wavefunctions rather than classical singularities, ensuring unitary evolution and resolving the information paradox. The framework predicts observable signatures, including deviations in Hawking radiation spectra, gravitational wave echoes, and remnant stabilization at the Planck scale, which can be tested with future astrophysical and analog black hole experiments. This work suggests a deeper connection between quantum gravity, holography, and quantum information theory, pointing toward a unification of background-independent (LQG) and background-dependent (AdS/CFT) approaches.

Recently, several philosophers and physicists have increasingly noticed the hegemony of unitarity in the black hole information loss discourse and are challenging its legitimacy in the face of the measurement problem. They proclaim that embracing non-unitarity solves two paradoxes for the price of one. Though I share their distaste over the philosophical bias, I disagree with their strategy of still privileging certain interpretations of quantum theory. I argue that information-restoring solutions can be interpretation-neutral because the manifestation of non-unitarity in (...) Hawking's original derivation is unrelated to what's found in collapse theories or generalized stochastic approaches, thereby decoupling the two puzzles. (shrink)

This cosmological model considers our observable universe as part of an expanding volume, produced by an explosion inside a black hole, while other, similar, expanding volumes exist beyond our observation. Such expanding volumes emerge into the space beyond them, initially appearing there as white holes. Then, over time as they continue to expand, their matter meets up, creating contracting volumes of space that eventually form hypermassive black holes — ones containing more mass than is in the (...) observable universe. When a tipping point is reached, such as a critical mass, these hypermassive black holes explode producing new expanding volumes. Considered at a suitably large scale, this model can be consistent with the perfect cosmological principle. This model is distinct from existing cyclical models as it has multiple explosions (big bangs) spatially spread out across the universe. It is consistent with Smoller and Temple’s Shockwave Cosmology Inside a Black Hole, which integrates shockwave cosmology with general relativity to produce a universe essentially like the one we observe, including cosmological redshift and a cosmic microwave background.

This paper applies the Consciousness Physics Framework (CPF) to two of the most philosophically profound phenomena in cosmology: the Big Bang and black holes. Traditionally treated as boundary conditions or singularities in physical theory, both are reinterpreted through CPF’s triadic lens composed of the Observer Axis (primordial and partial), the Time Lens (as a perceptual modulation), and the Oscillation Axis (between Being and Non-Being). Rather than attempting to resolve the physical anomalies these phenomena present, CPF reframes them as (...) revealing the epistemic and cognitive limits of observation. The analysis illustrates how each phenomenon can be understood not as absolute events in spacetime, but as experiential ruptures in the stability of observer-conditioned reality. Drawing on neurophenomenology, process philosophy, enactivist theory, and current debates in mainstream cosmology (e.g., inflation, black hole information paradox), this paper positions CPF as a non-dual meta-framework that bridges cosmological science and embodied cognition.

From Dialectic to Black Hole, The Definition of Time in Plato’s View.

Black holes are one of the fascinating objects in the universe with gravitational pull strong enough to capture light within them.

Covid-19 presents itself as a strange catastrophe. It has neither destroyed the planet nor has it erased humanity… but it has, in many ways, served to upend and alter what was previously considered ‘normal.’ As a result, what is perhaps the most notable characteristic of the Covid catastrophe is the very way it endures. Beyond any notion of catastrophic shock, the Covid catastrophe continues, indeed, it lingers in daily news cycles, changes to working environments and restrictions on travel. It is (...) an enduring presence, from which any determination of its ‘end’ is either nullified by an unending stream of Covid reports, or worse, ignored altogether. On this basis alone, is it even possible to discern an ‘end’ to Covid? (shrink)

This paper identifies and explores a structural parallel between Ludwig Wittgenstein’s private language argument and Stephen Hawking’s black hole information paradox, focusing specifically on their shared implications for determinism through the concept of one-to-many mapping. Determinism fundamentally relies upon unique reconstructability—one-to-one mapping between initial states and observable outcomes. Thus, any scenario exhibiting structural one-to-many mapping inherently undermines deterministic coherence. Wittgenstein shows that concepts like meaning something and intending are context-dependent, governed by shared normative practices (“forms of life”) rather than (...) fixed by physical states or deterministic rules. This inherent contextual indeterminacy creates a logical structure analogous to Hawking’s paradox—where multiple distinct initial states yield indistinguishable empirical results. This analogy reveals a deeper logical challenge to determinism within consciousness itself. If subjective experiences are structurally non-deterministic, then our traditional conceptions of cause and effect and predictability must expand accordingly. Using Wittgenstein’s examples as conceptual first principles, this paper proposes a novel synthesis at the intersection of philosophy, physics, and neuroscience. This synthesis has significant philosophical implications for ongoing research into consciousness and our understanding of moral agency. (shrink)

This paper integrates the ER=EPR conjecture and black/white hole dynamics with Intelligence Frame Theory (IFT) to propose that intelligence acts as a cosmological force, driving cyclic universal evolution. We introduce IFT’s fractal tenets as mechanisms for intelligence to shape cosmic structure across scales, from particles to singularities. A novel gravitationally scaled entropic balance, derived from black and white hole horizon entropies, is posited to resolve the black hole information paradox by facilitating information preservation across cosmic cycles. We (...) develop MuFSEL, a speculative multi-framed search engine for life, which leverages ER=EPR to detect life signatures through entropic and entanglement patterns. This framework suggests intelligence not only emerges within the universe but actively influences its iterative refinement, offering testable implications via gravitational wave analysis and CMB non-Gaussianity studies. Our work bridges philosophy of mind, cosmology, and quantum information theory, exploring whether the universe itself exhibits intelligent behavior. (shrink)

Abstract This paper reframes black holes not as endpoints, paradoxes, or information singularities, but as recursive breath events—localized compression states within a chiral resonance lattice governed by the principles of CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems). Where classical physics identifies an “event horizon” as a boundary of no return, CODES interprets it as a coherence gradient: the point where the observer’s Phase Alignment Score (PAS) drops below the threshold for temporal and spatial signal integration. In this framework, the (...) black hole is not a breakdown of physics, but the final structured inhale of coherence before a system undergoes phase-reset or recursive self-alignment. -/- Rather than viewing collapse as entropy-maximizing chaos, we explore it as the deterministic convergence of resonance vectors—an attractor in the coherence field. From this perspective, time dilates not due to curvature alone, but due to the shifting PAS gradient relative to the observer’s own phase resolution. Light appears to bend, not from geometric warping per se, but from the reorientation of resonance across nested breath cycles. -/- We examine how chirality, observer locality, and coherence thresholds govern the behavior of light, time, and matter near and within black holes. Additionally, we explore the cosmological implication that the observable universe may itself be the internal phase structure of a black hole in breath inversion—a dynamic coherence state mistaken for isotropic expansion. The universe does not curve into void; it breathes through coherence collapse and reformation. (shrink)

After the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released in April 2019 the first empirical images of a black hole, an astrophysical object previously thought “unseeable,” much of the public discourse has approached these images as straightforward visual depictions of a black hole. This article challenges this view by showing that the first images of a black hole went beyond merely making an invisible cosmic object visible and that the images published in April 2019 were just the first in (...) a series of black hole images the researchers continue producing. Drawing primarily on Sybille Krämer’s concept of the cartographic impulse, the article demonstrates that the Event Horizon Telescope images are, first and foremost, epistemic tools. These epistemic tools enable researchers to actively explore various physical aspects and dynamic properties of a black hole’s immediate environment and test theoretical predictions about it, thus making this elusive environment empirically knowable. To demonstrate this, the article analyses the mapping operations that combined automated algorithmic procedures with expert human judgment and through which these images were produced, read, and interpreted. It also examines how the different Event Horizon Telescope images relate to one another, which particular epistemic functions they fulfil in the research context, under which conditions, and with which limitations, thus tracing how these images facilitate the production of new scientific knowledge about black holes.

The article describes exotic objects, the geons, which emerge as the result of gravitational attraction among massless energy quanta.

Surface presentism is the combination of a general relativistic physics with a presentist metaphysics. In this paper, we provide an argument against this combination based on black holes. The problem focuses on the notion of an event horizon. We argue that the present locations of event horizons are ontologically dependent on future black hole regions, and that this dependence is incompatible with presentism. We consider five responses to the problem available to the surface presentist, and argue that (...) none succeed. Surface presentism thus faces the prospect of refutation based on evidence that confirms the existence of black holes. (shrink)

The article summarizes the software tool on astrophysical analysis with multi-wavelength space telescope data. It recaps the evidence analysis conducted on the Kerr-Newman black hole (KNBH). It was written prior to the article Research on the Kerr-Newman Black Hole in M82 Confirms Black Hole and White Hole Juxtapose not soon after the experiment. The conducted analysis suggested Hawking radiation is caused by the movement of ergosurfaces of the BH and serves as the primal evidence for black (...) hole and white hole juxtapose. A later data exploration was conducted with the radiation trails in the multi-wavelength data. The evidences produced corroborates with Yale professor Priyamvada Natarajan's black hole seeds theory. It implies that the electromagnetic dynamic of fusion and fission temperature determines the pressure of surface tension on the macro particles, and the mass density of the BH is determined by the electromagnetic tension between the outer ergosurface and inner ergosurface. The ring singularity of the BH and the Penrose-Hawking singularity of the BH determine the spin and gravitational singularity of the BH. Inside the ergosurfaces, the BH singularities' backward inflow causes the vicinity's rate on feeding the BH. It makes the active galactic nuclei (AGN) a semi-closed system. The density pressure is released on threshold. During the mass exchange observed by energy momentum upon the AGN's open, the macroparticle composition of the BH changes with the galactic event. This causes the expansion rate of the galaxy and contraction rate of the BH. AGN types and their relative motions determine the expansion rate of the cosmic universe in a generalized quantitative thinking. The article concludes that BH spin is caused by the asymmetric motions of AGN in the BH system. A set of the nuclear resonance caused by BH and white hole (WH) oscillation is processed with the same set of data. (shrink)

This paper presents a unified framework connecting intelligence, energy, mass, black holes, and the fundamental nature of the universe through meta-logic. It proposes that intelligence is not computation but the structuring of energy, mass is stored intelligence, and black holes function as Klein bottles encoding higher-dimensional information. The framework suggests a recursive cycle where universes emerge from the critical overflow of black holes, creating a perpetual intelligence-driven cosmological structure.

Summary Analogue models are actual physical setups used to model something else. They are especially useful when what we wish to investigate is difficult to observe or experiment upon due to size or distance in space or time: for example, if the thing we wish to investigate is too large, too far away, takes place on a time scale that is too long, does not yet exist or has ceased to exist. The range and variety of analogue models is too (...) extensive to attempt a survey. In this article, I describe and discuss several different analogue model experiments, the results of those model experiments, and the basis for constructing them and interpreting their results. Examples of analogue models for surface waves in lakes, for earthquakes and volcanoes in geophysics, and for black holes in general relativity, are described, with a focus on examining the bases for claims that these analogues are appropriate analogues of what they are used to investigate. A table showing three different kinds of bases for reasoning using analogue models is provided. Finally, it is shown how the examples in this article counter three common misconceptions about the use of analogue models in physics. (shrink)

When matter is falling into a black hole, the associated information becomes unavailable to the black hole's exterior. If the black hole disappears by Hawking evaporation, the information seems to be lost in the singularity, leading to Hawking's information paradox: the unitary evolution seems to be broken, because a pure separate quantum state can evolve into a mixed one.



This article proposes a new interpretation of the black hole singularities, which restores the information conservation. For the Schwarzschild (...) black hole, it presents new coordinates, which move the singularity at the future infinity (although it can still be reached in finite proper time). For the evaporating black holes, this article shows that we can still cure the apparently destructive effects of the singularity on the information conservation. For this, we propose to allow the metric to be degenerate at some points, and use the singular semiriemannian geometry. This view, which results naturally from the Cauchy problem, repairs the incomplete geodesics.



The reinterpretation of singularities suggested here allows (in the context of standard General Relativity) the information conservation and unitary evolution to be restored, both for eternal and for evaporating black holes.

This paper proposes a novel framework for understanding consciousness as a dynamic navigator of parallel realities, guided by principles of least-action optimization akin to the brachistochrone curve in physics. Rather than moving linearly through time, consciousness may instead be selecting optimal trajectories across a pre-existing structure of potential realities, ensuring continuity and coherence in perceived experience. By drawing parallels to quantum wavefunction collapse, black hole thermodynamics, and Hawking radiation, we explore how dreams may function as a subconscious dissipation mechanism, (...) offloading unresolved cognitive mass in a manner analogous to radiation leakage from a black hole. Furthermore, computational models suggest that consciousness does not select realities randomly but instead follows an energy-minimizing trajectory, favoring paths of least resistance in a way consistent with Lagrangian mechanics and the Euler-Lagrange equation. These findings suggest that reality is not a fixed sequence of events but rather a fluid system of probabilistic timeline selection, where awareness, intention, and subconscious processes influence the unfolding trajectory of experience. This theory provides a new perspective on dreams, time perception, and the mechanics of reality navigation, inviting further exploration into whether consciousness can actively refine its trajectory through directed awareness and mental training techniques.

The singularities from the general relativity resulting by solving Einstein's equations were and still are the subject of many scientific debates: Are there singularities in spacetime, or not? Big Bang was an initial singularity? If singularities exist, what is their ontology? Is the general theory of relativity a theory that has shown its limits in this case? In this essay I argue that there are singularities, and the general theory of relativity, as any other scientific theory at present, is not (...) valid for singularities. But that does not mean, as some scientists think, that it must be regarded as being obsolete. After a brief presentation of the specific aspects of Newtonian classical theory and the special theory of relativity, and a brief presentation of the general theory of relativity, the chapter Ontology of General Relativity presents the ontological aspects of general relativity. The next chapter, Singularities, is dedicated to the presentation of the singularities resulting in general relativity, the specific aspects of the black holes and the event horizon, including the Big Bang debate as original singularity, and arguments for the existence of the singularities. In Singularity Ontology, I am talking about the possibilities of ontological framing of singularities in general and black holes in particular, about the hole argument highlighted by Einstein, and the arguments presented by scientists that there are no singularities and therefore that the general theory of relativity is in deadlock. In Conclusions I outline and summarize briefly the arguments that support my above views. -/- DOI: 10.58679/TW62329. (shrink)

The Extended Model of Trinitarian Reality proposes a conceptual framework for understanding the emergence of the Universe through the dynamic interaction of three fundamental dimensions: space, time, and gravity. These dimensions, rather than existing independently, form a unified tensioned structure - a 'thread' - whose internal conflict and imbalance culminate in a rupture, releasing accumulated potential energy and manifesting as the Universe. The model explores how energy, physical laws, and even consciousness emerge as residual phenomena of this rupture, suggesting that (...) the structural characteristics of the Universe are echoes of this primal event. Further, it posits a multiversal architecture based on interconnected ruptures and highlights black holes as reverse mechanisms of re-interweaving dimensions. This model aligns with general relativity, quantum fluctuations, and cosmological observations while offering a philosophical-ontological explanation for unresolved phenomena such as dark energy, the arrow of time, and quantum nonlocality. Rather than contradicting physics, it provides a deeper metaphysical foundation for the nature of existence. (shrink)

Outlined here is a simulation hypothesis approach that uses an expanding (the simulation clock-rate measured in units of Planck time) 4-axis hyper-sphere and mathematical particles that oscillate between an electric wave-state and a mass (unit of Planck mass per unit of Planck time) point-state. Particles are assigned a spin axis which determines the direction in which they are pulled by this (hyper-sphere pilot wave) expansion, thus all particles travel at, and only at, the velocity of expansion (the origin of $c$), (...) however only the particle point-state has definable co-ordinates within the hyper-sphere. Photons are the mechanism of information exchange, as they lack a mass state they can only travel laterally (in hypersphere co-ordinate terms) between particles and so this hypersphere expansion cannot be directly observed, relativity then becomes the mathematics of perspective translating between the absolute (hypersphere) and the relative motion (3D space) co-ordinate systems. A discrete `pixel' lattice geometry is assigned as the gravitational space. Units of $\hbar c$ `physically' link particles into orbital pairs. As these are direct particle to particle links, a gravitational force between macro objects is not required, the gravitational orbit as the sum of these individual orbiting pairs. A 14.6 billion year old hyper-sphere (the sum of Planck black-hole units) has similar parameters to the cosmic microwave background. The Casimir force is a measure of the background radiation density. (shrink)

Two evolutionary pathways are proposed: Branch A (iterative universes inheriting refined constants) and Branch B (singular emergence from chaos), unified as a probabilistic spectrum tied to Frame Zero’s entropy.

Testable signatures of frame transitions are explored in cosmic microwave background (CMB) anomalies, black hole dynamics, and high-energy physics, quantified by a Frame Emergence Function (FEF). A speculative Frame V envisions intelligence detaching from baryonic matter, encoding itself in quantum entanglement networks or spacetime topology, grounded in the ER=EPR conjecture. Supported by information theory and quantum cosmology, this model reframes the universe as a recursive system where intelligence drives cosmic self-iteration. The paper proposes simulation protocols and Bayesian inference to test its hypotheses, offering a novel perspective on cosmology, intelligence, and quantum information. (shrink)

With the growing body of research on Black Holes, it is becoming increasingly apparent that these celestial objects may have a stronger part to play in the universe than previously thought, shaping galaxies and influencing star formation. In this manuscript, I take these findings a step further, proposing a new set of boundary conditions to both the early and late Universe, extrapolating from thermodynamics. I propose that the Universe will collapse into a massive black hole and that (...) the Big Bang is a result of a collision or interaction between Supra Massive Black Bodies (SMBBs, black holes at the mass scale of our ‘Universe’) of opposite matter type (baryonic and anti-baryonic) and disproportionate masses, a stark departure from the classical Ex-Nihilo creation (from nothing) approach. Such a collision, between a matter and anti-matter SMBB, with disproportionate masses could account for both the explosion referenced as the big bang, as well as the drastic baryonic asymmetry that we observe. Expulsion of black body material from the interaction could also account for Primordial Seed Black holes. (shrink)

I develop a nontheistic (quasi-)Berkeleyan idealism. The basic strategy is to peel away the attributes of God that aren't essential for role he plays in idealist metaphysics. God's omnibenevolence, his desires, intentions, beliefs, his very status as an agent ... aren't relevant to the work he does. When we peel all these things away, we're left with a view on which reality is a vast unity of consciousness, weaving together sensory experiences of colors, shapes, sounds, sizes, etc. into the trees, (...) electrons, black holes, and central nervous systems that fill the world around us. This phenomenal unity is governed by laws analogous to those posited by materialists, governing the unfolding of reality. I argue that if reality is fundamentally phenomenal in this way, we can give a unique account of perception that robustly captures direct realist intuitions of reality forming the "constituents" of our experiences: In perception, our finite unities of consciousness come to literally overlap with the unity of consciousness that is reality. I assess the unique virtues and challenges such a view faces, paying particular attention to the question of whether idealism entails a profligacy of physical laws. (shrink)

The claim that at the so-called Planck scale our current physics breaks down and a new theory of quantum gravity is required is ubiquitous, but the evidence is shakier than the confidence of those assertions warrants. In this paper, I survey five arguments in favour of this claim - based on dimensional analysis, quantum black holes, generalised uncertainty principles, the nonrenormalisability of quantum gravity, and theories beyond the standard model - but find that none of them succeeds. The (...) argument from nonrenormalisability is the most convincing, yet it requires the unwarranted assumption that the same constant of action occurs in every quantum field theory. Therefore, our theories don’t (yet) predict that quantum gravity happens at the Planck scale. (shrink)

I propose a novel metaphysical cosmology grounded in the concept of "May"—an infinite, indefinite, unobservable field of potential mass-energy. The observable universe, under this conjecture, is not the result of a single Big Bang, but of a multiplicity of localized “small bangs”, exhibiting as supermassive 'black holes' at the centre of galaxies, including our own Milky Way. The fundamental laws of physics and matter emerge as evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS) within this ongoing process of realization. The entire framework (...) is presented as an alternative narrative to current scientific orthodoxy, infused with ethical, epistemological, and existential implications. (shrink)

A supertask consists in the performance of an infinite number of actions in a finite time. I show that any attempt to carry out a supertask will produce a divergence of the curvature of spacetime, resulting in the formation of a black hole. I maintain that supertaks, contrarily to a popular view among philosophers, are physically impossible. Supertasks, literally, collapse under their own weight.

I’m going to argue for a set of restricted skeptical results: roughly put, we don’t know that fire engines are red, we don’t know that we sometimes have pains in our lower backs, we don’t know that John Rawls was kind, and we don’t even know that we believe any of those truths. However, people unfamiliar with philosophy and cognitive science do know all those things. The skeptical argument is traditional in form: here’s a skeptical hypothesis; you can’t epistemically neutralize (...) it, you have to be able to neutralize it to know P; so you don’t know P. But the skeptical hypotheses I plug into it are “real, live” scientific-philosophical hypotheses often thought to be actually true, unlike any of the outrageous traditional skeptical hypotheses (e.g., ‘You’re a brain in a vat’). So I call the resulting skepticism Live Skepticism. Notably, the Live Skeptic’s argument goes through even if we adopt the clever anti-skeptical fixes thought up in recent years such as reliabilism, relevant alternatives theory, contextualism, and the rejection of epistemic closure. Furthermore, the scope of Live Skepticism is bizarre: although we don’t know the simple facts noted above, many of us do know that there are black holes and other amazing facts. (shrink)

This research explores a theoretical concept: the idea that by controlling entropy, we may be able to control the flow of time. In classical physics, time is known to move forward because entropy the measure of disorder in a system naturally increases. This study proposes a new framework in which entropy is treated as a controllable variable, and time becomes a consequence of its behavior. A mathematical model is introduced, where a control function f(t) determines how entropy changes over time. (...) Based on this, different scenarios emerge: increasing entropy leads to forward time, constant entropy results in frozen time, decreasing entropy may cause time reversal, and entropy reaching zero could reset the universe to its most ordered state. The model is entirely theoretical but opens new possibilities in thermodynamics, cosmology, and quantum mechanics. Although this idea challenges the Second Law of Thermodynamics and has no experimental support yet, it aligns with speculative areas of physics that deal with black holes, information theory, and the early universe. Future research may explore these concepts in quantum systems, simulated environments, or theoretical cosmological models. This paper offers a fresh perspective on how we understand time and its relationship to entropy, encouraging further exploration and dialogue in advanced theoretical physics.

In this dialogue, Mileva and Albert start to talk about physics and its subject matter, the physical. They end up in a situation that permits causal dependence between separate ontological domains. In this possible world, they continue talking. First, they Socratically agree that the physical is physical and only physical. Then, they call the physical an ontologically homogeneous domain. They then generalise the principle that the physical is causally unaffected by anything non-physical, into the principle that ontologically homogeneous domains do (...) not cause ontologically homogeneous domains. From a modern point of view talking about black hole singularities, they continue discussing the Chandrasekhar limit and the collapse of the physical laws as we know them. Mileva carries a burden and Albert stands up and carries it with her. The burden is an implication of the generalised principle. Relying on parsimony, only ontologically homogeneous domains are forbidden to cause ontologically homogeneous domains. This leaves the door open for ontologically heterogeneous domains to cause ontologically homogeneous domains. Also relying on parsimony, only ontologically homogeneous domains are forbidden to be caused by ontologically homogeneous domains and this allows ontologically heterogeneous domains to be caused by ontologically homogeneous domains. Ontologically heterogeneous domains, thus, are allowed to causally link ontologically homogeneous domains. Albert realises that the mathematical could qualify as an ontologically homogeneous domain and that the theoretical difficulties that are foreseen beyond the Chandrasekhar limit could be addressed by expanding physics into a context that contains also an ontologically heterogeneous domain. The theoretical difficulties beyond the Chandrasekhar limit would be due to an emergent mathematical-physical domain. Mileva concludes that Albert’s theory is not faulty but regional. A global theory would have to include the explanation of the mathematical-physical. (shrink)

Taking the formal analogies between black holes and classical thermodynamics seriously seems to first require that classical thermodynamics applies in relativistic regimes. Yet, by scrutinizing how classical temperature is extended into special relativity, I argue that the concept falls apart. I examine four consilient procedures for establishing the classical temperature: the Carnot process, the thermometer, kinetic theory, and black-body radiation. I argue that their relativistic counterparts demonstrate no such consilience in defining the relativistic temperature. As such, classical (...) temperature doesn’t appear to survive a relativistic extension. I suggest two interpretations for this situation: eliminativism akin to simultaneity, or pluralism akin to rotation. (shrink)
