muruep00 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Posted August 24, 2020 2 minutes ago, Ghideon said: I agree! I just have some (personal) problems when the mechanism in an explanation, be it negative energy or some other concept, is hidden in such a way that it is impossible to observe or detect even in principle. For instance hiding behind an event horizon but resulting in a black hole that from the outside will look the same as if modelled/predicted by an accepted theory. Such explanations gets too close to being unscientific for my taste, kind of like "God Did It", "God of the gaps" or "last thursdayism". You can observe it, just go inside a black hole and perform an internal gravitational experiment. Im sorry that we dont have a black hole near us, but in principle yes, it is possible to go inside, so it is not hidden. If it were non-observable, nor directly or indirectly, that would not be science (i guess it would be methaphysics). Take for instance virtual particles again, you cannot observe them (perhaps because god made them to live very short lifes ), but you may argue that they exist due to observable experiments such as the Cassimir effect.

You were arguing that the fact that I use negative energies which are hidden behind an event horizon looked suspicious. If you let me make use of the example I talked about before, with virtual particles, these have indirect effects that can be observed (cassimir effect). With black holes and for no quantum approaches, the observables are very few: size (dependent of mass), spin, or charge. Curiously, one of these, when observed, does not match the prediction of GR when combined with accretion and merging estimations. One may argue that the estimations are wrong (MigL did), and interior model we use for black holes with GR is right, but supermassive black holes are way too big for our estimations to be wrong (the would be very, very, very wrong). Others have proposed eternal primordial black holes, and I propose my model. In my model, no information escapes the black hole, that is forbidden, but the event horizon grows, which is something that we know already happens by other mechanisms such as accretion. And it can be observed. Spin may also tell a lot about how black holes grew, but I have not study the consequences of my model for spin of black holes and actual observations (spin is difficult to estimate in supermassive black holes, because it can change due to the "sense" of the spin of accretion matter or other black holes that merge, and no body knows about the spin these had during the life of a supermassive black hole). I dont know where do you want to go with this question, since we arrive at the same discussion we had earlier about whether if my model is the only one consistent just using GR, or that many others can be built whose predictions are the same, so even if my models' prediction matched actual observations, one would not be sure whether if my model is the one that is correct (your argument). And who knows, as far as I know, hawking radiation is independent of what lies inside the black hole, but perhaps it depends somehow of it (it certainly changes the mechanism by which it reduces the mass of the black hole inside, since that implies a negative energy flux in words of Hawking, and in my model, they can only be negative energy fluxes inside the black hole), and my model would change that hawking radiation (for instance, maybe it implies that it does not exist), giving you another way to prove it. But this is speculation about my speculative model... Im just saying that I might be missing a better way to prove it myself. Edited August 24, 2020 by muruep00

I believe not, you may have observed irreversible processes like: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.1742.pdf which may break time process symmetry, but no time transformations where times goes backwards. We know it must be anti-unitary because it's a consistency requirement both of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. QM: The transition from state 1 to state 2 has an amplitude that is complex.

When you deal with a tiny particle in the presence of a black hole, you can write its Lagrangian and study its motion in the background geometry of the big object. How do you think one calculates the motion of Mercury and the anomalous precession of its perihelion? One completely ignores the distortion that Mercury itself produces. In that case, the proper time of the particle is a parameter to describe a geodesic in the background geometry. The proper time of the particles you're talking about is the parameter of a curve.

Energy conservation comes from Lagrangians through Noether's theorem when the action is invariant except for a total derivative (divergence in several dimensions). There is no conservation for the absolute value of the energy. If there were, I would be interested to know where it comes from. I really recommend you a primer in classical field theory.

I've watch that Sidney Coleman video and I understand that in his example, he is treating a time transformation as the reversal of a process. The question again, as I have stated before is, have we really observe something moving backwards in the time dimension? The answer is, no, that is why time transformations are defined anti-unitary arbitrarely. The only reason Weinberg rejects it being unitary, is the fact that it would imply negative energies. I dont think that if you could reverse time in GR, a process would run blackwards. Time in GR is a dimension, "similar" to a spatial direction. I can move up or down, and say hello when going up, and say hello again going down, without having that process reversed. Im always talking about time transformations as moving in the other direction as usual in the time dimension, not reversing processes. If treated as a dimension, positive and negative time is not the difference between a process and the reverse process. I understand that if you are limited to positive time, then yes, it is related to the motion of a test particle in a gravitational system through geodesics as you said. But you cant reverse time in GR, since GR is built prohibiting those transformations. As we discussed before, I would have to extend GR for that. Anyway, Markus pointed out that exotic matter cannot be explained by the Standard Model. I understand that considering time transformation unitary does not agree with QFT, although you can work out the math in the Dirac equation and in Lorentz transformations, and both agree on the result. Perhaps somebody could work out the math for QFT, but that is not going to be me. Quote You really must study analytical mechanics and some classical field theory. Forget GR for now.

I think you underestimate indirect observations & numerical simulations regarding my model, but let me make a point clear: You cant define an hypothesis to be unscientific just because our limitations of technology. That is, my model can be perfectly proved by going inside a black hole, its not methaphysics, its the real world. For now, our techonology is not capable to send a probe into a black hole. But the hypothesis is scientific, it is just that were are limited techonologically at the moment. It is like telling Einstein that gravitational waves cannot be proved to exist, just because they are very difficult to observe. And 100 years ago, even Einstein himself did not think they would be measured in the future. But we do measure them now. To put it simple, unscientific ideas have nothing to do with the limtations of techonology. It is a question of whether they can be proved or not, today or tomorrow. If my model stated that you cannot enter a black hole (just a silly example), then that model would be unscientific, because no matter which technology you have, if you cant go inside you cant prove it at a high level of certainty, never. But anyway, leaving this point appart. I believe numerical simulations, if carried out leaving little or non room for mistakes, and the predictions of my model matched precisely the observations that we currently cant explain, at least, it would be reasonable to consider my model as viable as the nowadays model (Markus model). Because I remind you that the actual model of the inside of a black hole, is not proved to be correct. What you are telling me, I already know and Im already aware (in fact I like a lot the philosophy behind science). Unfortunately, black holes may be one of these objects, together with matter that seems to not interact with light, that set the biggest challenges in proving them right. Thank you Ghideon -1

It was just a curiosity, I quote Bonnor: http://www.januscosmologicalmodel.com/pdf/bonnor1989.pdf Chemistry might be a very interesting subject in this universe. Moreover, positive atoms would attract each other, and so 3 Coulomb's law is unaltered, in particular, in sign. would negative atoms. In this way large condensations, each with a positive or negative charge, could form. In fact, charge would take the place of gravitational mass in the formation of large bodies. Although there would be no neutral planets orbiting stars under the force of gravitation, there could be charged planetary systems. Intelligent life in such a universe could not be ruled out.

Of course I do not speak for the majority of scientists but my opinion is that a detection or observation must be accessible for peers that choose not to enter the black hole, otherwise an observation does not count. If your approach towards the observable is useful as an argument to get others to support your idea remains to be seen. My opinion is that your idea, as presented by you so far, is unscientific. Maybe we should leave that aspect of the idea and agree that you have some different definition of scientific evidence, observable, detectable than I have. There is still the aspect of simulations to cover. 13 hours ago, muruep00 said: I think you underestimate indirect observations & numerical simulations regarding my model I have not made any serious attempts at commenting that aspect of your idea yet. I'll try to post something later today. 12 hours ago, muruep00 said: I get your point, but I think the fact that no direct observation can be made for now, is something we encounter every day in QM. Can you measure directly the wave function of a particle? No, you just believe that there is a wave function when you do not collapse it because the model that we have that describes better the direct observations we can make in the quantum scale require them! That is an indirect observation pointing out the existance of something unobservable, just like the one I proposed in my first post. I rely on indirect observations every day. For instance this morning I observed a thermometer graded in degrees Celsius. I did not perform a direct observation of individual molecules and/or subatomic particle interactions. You seem to use incorrect analogies; please tell us how to indirectly observe the inside of black holes. *) Also note that the arguments surrounding your idea begin to look very similar to religious ideas and beliefs, intended or not. I'm not going to further push that discussion, feel free to open a thread in the correct section.
