The Black Hole Information Paradox: An Alternative Solution

Since the proposals by Stephen Hawking in the mid-2010s, the black hole information paradox has captivated the scientific community. The paradox itself revolves around the apparent contradiction between the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. According to quantum mechanics, information must be conserved and never destroyed. However, based on early interpretations of black holes in general relativity (GR), it was suggested that information could be lost beyond the event horizon.

Revisiting the Black Hole Information Paradox

In his January 2014 proposal, Stephen Hawking suggested a resolution to the black hole information paradox by replacing the absolute "Wheeler" event horizons of a General Relativity (GR) 1916 black hole with observer-dependent relative apparent horizons. Hawking proposed that gravitational collapse produces apparent horizons but no event horizons, where behind these horizons, information is not lost. However, this solution hinges on the validity of Einstein's foundational theories: special relativity (SR) and 1916 general relativity (GR).

Challenging the Foundational Theories

Hawking's suggested solution only works if the equations of SR, which form the basis of GR, are incorrect in the context of curved spacetime. This means we would need to construct a new general theory of relativity that doesn't rely on the SR relationships. This would require discarding both Einstein's classical theories and starting from scratch.

An Alternative Perspective on Information Conservation

According to the conservation of information, just like energy, information is never destroyed but is converted into different forms. Analogous to the LZW (Lempel–Ziv–Welch) algorithm in computer science, a black hole does not destroy information but decompresses and organizes it.

Decompression and Information Storage

Black holes decompress and organize matter and waves into extremely long wavelengths with a high quantum mass-to-energy ratio. These wavelengths are stored in a compact and organized form in a hyperdimensional, crystalline structure. This compression is not physical but rather a reorganization of information.

Black Hole Core Dynamics

At the core of a black hole, extremely long wavelengths are folded into a hyperdimensional, multi-hedral form of quantum space/dark matter. The force generated by this quantum mass interactions with spiral spacetime waves creates gravitational effects.

Gravitational Forces and Quantum Mechanics

While quantum mechanics stipulates that information is conserved, it can take a form that is not immediately evident. The apparent loss of information is merely an illusion due to limited observational data. The key is to obtain sufficient information to see that no paradox truly exists.

Conclusion

The problem with the black hole information paradox can be resolved without discarding Einstein's theories. Instead, we need to reconsider the nature of information in the context of black holes and rewrite how we interpret the behavior of spacetime. By redefining black holes as mechanisms for information conservation rather than destruction, we can align our understanding with both relativity and quantum mechanics.
