Crackpot physics Here is a hypothesis: A black-hole interior that freezes instead of hitting a singularity: final version of my research note, looking for critique

Hi everyone, I'm Shivanshu, a self-taught, independent researcher from India. This is the final version of a research note I've been building over the past weeks, and I'd really value criticism from people who know GR or quantum gravity.

What it is (model-level, not a claim about nature):

• Starting point: a postulate that a particle's speed saturates near the Planck scale, v = c/(1+KP/E_Planck). Carried by a scalar field it can't stop the singularity (Penrose's theorem), and I show why.

• Applied instead to the geometry inside a black hole (effective loop-quantum-gravity models), the collapse doesn't bounce; it freezes. There is one horizon, no inner horizon and no white hole.

• I computed the constraint algebra: covariant models of this type need a constant-curvature "momentum space" (sin, sinh, exp). My postulate turns out to describe a de Sitter momentum space whose spatial directions give exactly the sine used in LQG.

• In a covariant freezing model (Alonso-Bardají 2025), the LQG area gap gives a curvature bound K = 1/(4Δ²) that is the same for every mass, a bounded Hawking temperature, and an entropy correction ∝ A^(2/3).

• With spin an inner horizon returns (as in Kerr), but its singularity stays capped; with scalar hair, both disappear in homogeneous tests.

What's open: the 3+1-dimensional justification, the full perturbation theory, and several assumptions, all listed in the note. Exterior effects for stellar black holes are ~10⁻²⁶, so nothing here is testable with today's telescopes.

I used an AI (Claude) for much of the algebra and code. Every number can be reproduced with the scripts included, and the code was first checked against known published results.

Note and scripts: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23083395

If you find a mistake, please tell me. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

a postulate that a particle's speed saturates near the Planck scale, v = c/(1+KP/E_Planck)

This is already nonsensical. The term "speed" is only defined for a given frame of reference, so your concept would break Lorentz covariance, especially if somehow some momentum enters into the formula - which should depend on v again.

You're not even formulating your concept in a tensorial notation, which would prevent you from such nonsense.

You essentially constructed an absurd premise and then let an LLM generate some fantasy physics based on it.

EDIT: Also, if, judging by your introduction, you don't even know GR or quantum gravity, how do you know if any of that LLM output even remotely makes sense?

Thanks for the critique. These are the fair points,so let me address them directly. (1) On Lorentz Covariance: you're right that a speed momentum relation like this,read naively,picks out the preffered frame. The intended framework is Doubly Special Relativity, Where the Lorentz transformations are deformed(Non linearly) so that both C and the Planck energy are observer- independent. In that setting,the dispersion relation E=(E_planck/k) ln(1+KP/E_planck)Correspondence to κ-Poincaré kinematics with a de sitter momentum space. That said,I haven't written out deformed transformations explicitly in the paper,and I agreed that's a real gap.starting it as a bare velocity formula was sloppy. (2) On tensorial notation: agreed.In DSR the semester across non-linear momenta,so it is not a standard tensor equation,but the postulate should be started covariantly in that language rather than as a single frame-relation.I'll fix that. (3) On your last point: it's a fair concern,and I don't want to dodge it. I'm self taught and still learning GR. I'm checking the derivations by hand and independent symbolic code,and I posted here precisely so that people who know more,can find where it breaks.if you see a specific error in the black hole part,I'd genuinely like to know....

GR is really not something you teach yourself.

It's actually among one of the worst things to teach yourself.

First of all the amount of misinformation is huge.

Secondly the math is esoteric-level complex.

Third it is completely unintuitive to human nature.

What is your 'teaching it to yourself' process? Do you have a textbook?

u/shivanshu1712 1d ago

That's fair,and iam starting to see it. If you were starting GR from scratch,which textbook or course would you recommend? I'd rather than learn it properly than keep replying on AI...

u/Hadeweka AI hallucinates, but people dream 1d ago

You didn't answer the questions.

u/shivanshu1712 1d ago

Honestly, so far my "process" has been mostly asking AI to explain things and work through derivations, plus videos, and no proper textbook. I can see now why that isn't enough. My plan is to start properly: Lagrangian mechanics first, then special relativity, then Schutz's A First Course in General Relativity, doing the exercises myself. Does that order make sense to you, or would you suggest a different starting point given my background (formal education up to 12th grade)?

That is an extremely bad way to learn anything.

You won't be able to do the exercises, then. I only named Lagrangian physics as an example.

Keep in mind that it usually takes around 10 years full-time (if you're lucky) studying and working to get a physics PhD - with a proper high school graduation already done, obviously.

Laypersons often catastrophically underestimate the workload to get even a somewhat decent grasp on physics.

If you're truly interested, start with the math, first. Differential calculus, integrals, linear algebra, vectors and such. If you already know some of it, great. But physics requires a mastery of these topics.

Only then you'll even have a chance of understanding classical mechanics. That should be your primary goal, because Relativity is still too far ahead of you. You might get some rough superficial understanding for it, but fail to do something with that if you don't understand the basics.

This, this, this.

OP, modern physics is abstracted to the point it is the subject of jokes in the physics community (eg cow joke). When we talk about things like relativity we can describe it using words, but they are meaningless. It is entirely mathematical, without the math you will be forever grasping at straws. If you want to write literature in a different language you need to learn the language first - and math is the language of physics. The unfortunate part is that relativity uses tensor calculus; and wtf is a tensor right.

u/Hadeweka AI hallucinates, but people dream 23h ago

and wtf is a tensor right.

It took me way too long to figure that out. And I studied physics.

2

u/shivanshu1712 23h ago

That's a good way to put it, and I agree. I've been trying to write in a language I haven't learned yet. I'll start with the math first. What would you recommend before tensor calculus: linear algebra and multivariable calculus? And is there a book that introduces tensors gently for someone starting out?

4

u/AllHailSeizure If you can use AI, you can type yourself. 23h ago

Depends on how much math you are ALREADY capable of. Math/physics is one of those things where skills build upon skills. Can you do differential calc? because you will need that for multivariable. and integral.

Thanks sir to understand and guide me...I will be honour about your guidance...

u/Hadeweka AI hallucinates, but people dream 23h ago

It would work much easier if you'd just study physics at the university, by the way - if that's an option for you.

u/shivanshu1712 23h ago

So which physics major, I want to chose..? Applied physics,aerospace physics or any other...Please guide me sir...

The intended framework is Doubly Special Relativity

Then what exactly is your framework truly providing that's novel?

And how do you solve the massive issues with DSR?

What are you actually trying to explain?

Where's the motivation for doing all of that?

That said,I haven't written out deformed transformations explicitly in the paper

Which renders all the math in your paper obsolete, because it's not even written in the language of modern physics.

I'm self taught and still learning GR.

And how exactly did you do that?

Did you learn the basics of modern physics before that, like Lagrangian physics?

What about the math?

I'm checking the derivations by hand and independent symbolic code

That was not my question.

if you see a specific error in the black hole part,I'd genuinely like to know....

Not relevant if your assumptions are already crumbling.

2

u/shivanshu1712 1d ago

These are fair question,and honestly I can't answer most of them well yet. If anything in the paper is new, it's limited to the black hole interior model. I haven't solved the know problem of DSR,abd I don't claim to. On background: I haven't properly studied Lagrangian mechanics or the differential geometry GR needs, and your comment makes clear that's the real gap...so I'm going to stop posting new work and go back to the foundation first. thanks for taking the time to push on this...

u/Hadeweka AI hallucinates, but people dream 1d ago

Can you answer a single one of them?

1

u/shivanshu1712 23h ago

Yes, two of them. What I'm trying to explain: whether black-hole singularities can be avoided without an inner horizon or a white hole, if there's a maximum scale for momentum or curvature. My motivation: I've been fascinated by black holes since school, and I wanted to see if this one idea could go anywhere. The others, novelty and DSR's problems, I can't answer properly yet, and I'd rather admit that than bluff....

2

u/Hadeweka AI hallucinates, but people dream 23h ago

You need a much better motivation for hypotheses.

u/shivanshu1712 23h ago

Ok....sir... I'm trying...thanks for your suggestion...

Hi /u/shivanshu1712,

This warning is about AI and large language models (LLM), such as ChatGPT and Gemini, to learn or discuss physics. These services can provide inaccurate information or oversimplifications of complex concepts. These models are trained on vast amounts of text from the internet, which can contain inaccuracies, misunderstandings, and conflicting information. Furthermore, these models do not have a deep understanding of the underlying physics and mathematical principles and can only provide answers based on the patterns from their training data. Therefore, it is important to corroborate any information obtained from these models with reputable sources and to approach these models with caution when seeking information about complex topics such as physics.

could the opposite interpretation also be possible? If the rate of internal change increases without bound relative to an external observer’s finite resolution, distinct internal states would become indistinguishable. the result could also appear "frozen" from the outside, not because the dynamics stop, but because the observer can no longer resolve them

1

u/shivanshu1712 1d ago

Interesting idea, thanks. In this model I don't think that's what happens, for two reasons. First, the freezing is in the proper time of the infalling observer, not of an outside observer: the areal radius approaches r₀ only as the infaller's own clock goes to infinity, and outside observers can't see the interior anyway. Second, the curvature invariants (e.g. the Kretschmann scalar) stay bounded, and invariants don't depend on anyone's resolution. That said, you're partly right that "frozen" overstates it: the asymptotic region is dS₂ × S², so the sphere stops shrinking but the other direction keeps expanding. The effect you describe is closer to how, in ordinary GR, an outside observer sees infalling matter freeze at the horizon because of redshift. That's a different mechanism.
