1. The Reduced Speed of Light and the Scalar Field in Black Holes
For this new model we start with a minimum length in black holes. E.g. Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) demands a minimal length, the Planck length
[
3]. Then the Heisenberg uncertainty relation can not be fulfilled any more and has to be adjusted.
In an arbitrarily small area around a space-time-point in globally curved space-time, local flatness and Lorentz invariance apply. This cannot be sustained in black holes. By assuming a reduced speed of light the Heisenberg uncertainty can be maintained.
We start with the Heisenberg uncertainty relation for a particle with mass
m:
Here
x is the position,
the momentum of the particle and
v its speed,
ℏ is the reduced Planck constant. To reach the extremal states the uncertainty for the mass
m has to be extremal and we use the mass of a black hole with its Schwarzschild radius
and the gravitational constant
G:
To reach the extremal states the next step is that the uncertainty for
has to be the smallest, the Planck length
, and the uncertainty for
has to be the greatest, the speed of light
c. Then we reach the state where the uncertainty relation would not hold true any more because we cannot reduce
any more:
On this scale and in the black hole we assume that the speed of light is variable. The equation does not forbid that the speed of light already changed before the Planck scale was reached. Here we use the capital letter for C for the variable speed of light, which is connected to black holes by the Schwarzschild radius. We do not use it as a speed of light c in general. After rearranging the equation we have
Here we expand the equation by the Planck length .
When we look at black holes on the greatest and smallest scales we have a black hole with a Planck mass
on the one side. It has a Schwarzschild radius of the Planck length
.
Here
m/s is the known speed of light. On the other side we have massive black holes with their masses
M and their different Schwarzschild radii
:
When the Schwarzschild radius of equation
6 gets smaller and smaller by Hawking radiation the speed of light
C gets higher, see equation
4. For the Schwarzschild radius of a Planck length in equation
5 the reduced speed of light in equation
4 is not reduced any more and
. This makes sense because then particles / radiation in the black hole interact such short time with the black hole and with potential quantum gravity effects that the speed is not reduced. We add the factor 2 to the Planck length for this special case
at the Planck length. This leads to
That means a bigger Schwarzschild radius leads to a smaller speed of light of the photons inside the black hole and a black hole close to the Planck size has photons with nearly the speed of light c in it.
Here equation
7 is derived with the instruments of quantum mechanics: the Heisenberg uncertainty relation with the reduced Planck constant
ℏ.
Equation
7 can also be derived with only the instruments of gravity theory and the conservation of energy. We use equation
6 and imagine the largest possible black hole. E.g. if their would be a Big Crunch scenario in the future there would be one black mega hole with all the mass of the universe
. When we assume that there is a reduced speed of light in this black hole and all the particles / radiation / information is "frozen" we can have the same mass only by the Planck energy, which is makable by the smallest black hole (see equation
5) and a reduced speed of light
C:
By using equation
6 for
and
the equation changes to:
Now we use
of equation
5 and end up with
This is the result we already know (see equation
7).
The reduced speed of light in black holes of equation
7 /
10 is plotted in
Figure 1.
It can be seen that even very small black holes with a Schwarzschild radius of some meters trap extremely slow photons with a typical speed of m/s.
Together with this reduced speed of light
C we can derive an effective rest mass for these photons with energy
E in the black hole
We call these photons with an effective rest mass massive photons (MP) in the following. For these massive photons in the black hole we have:
Here we used
with the dynamical mass of normal photons (NP) in the last step. That means the photons in the black hole are strongly redshifted by
. That redshift factor is that immense due to the Planck length in the denominator that even photons with the smallest imaginable wavelength, the Planck length, would have wavelengths in the black hole about the Schwarzschild radius. That means all the photons in the black hole must have a wavelength about the Schwarzschild radius because nothing can leave the black hole and larger wavelengths are not possible then. Thus, the typical wavelength
can be set to
, which results in the longest possible wavelength in the black hole, by definition the circumference:
. Then this results in a mass, which is half the Planck mass
.
Also massive particles (baryonic matter) like electrons are redshifted inside the black hole, which can be seen by the De Broglie wavelength
:
That means the massive particles are redshifted by the factor . Here we have a similar scenario and we can assume for the typical wavelength of particles in the black hole.
The mass
m with its rest mass
is changed in the following way:
In massive black holes the particle mass gets extremely small, which is in harmony with the giant wavelength. When the black hole shrinks down to the Planck length the particles leave the black hole with their original mass.
Equations
13 and
15 show that everything that enters the black hole is strongly redshifted. The original information can still be deciphered by reducing the redshift.
When the photons enter the black hole and gain an effective mass similar to the Planck mass they nearly do not move any more, e.g.
m/s for SgrA*, see
Appendix A. That means these photons span a scalar field very similar to the cosmological quintessence [
5], but with
and here similar to a cosmological constant, we see in the following. Here
p is the pressure and
the density. These photons do not interact with other particles of effective mass in the field in the first order because of their photonic properties.
Since their speed is so low, their energy density is not changing over time in the first approximation. Due to the characteristics of a growing black hole and the statistics of black holes absorbing photons from its environment, space inside the black hole is filled with these particles in an orderly pattern.
When considering a perfect fluid, described by its density
and pressure
p filling a Robertson Walker space time, the Friedmann equation for such a fluid is
Here a dot means derivative with respect to time
t. That means every change of the energy density is proportional to the sum of positive energy density and pressure. For our scalar field the change is approximately zero and thus the pressure is negative and
.
In the last step is used for the typical convention in natural units. In the following SI-units are used again.
That means normal matter, which is surrounded by the massive photons, realizes a repulsive force and our scalar field acts as a fifth force and similar to dark energy. When the temporal derivative of the energy density is bigger than the energy density itself the approximation of a not changing energy density is not correct any more and we have the behaviour of dark matter, which is the case for early times, we will see in
Section 4.
That means every black hole would consist of slow photons which posses something really similar to a dark energy and are very similar to Dark Energy Stars [
6], but with a theoretical singularity, which does not have a practical significance (see
Section 2). For massive black holes a cosmological coupling was measured ([
7,
8]), which indicates that massive black holes are growing with the same growing rate than the universe is growing due to dark energy. This would mean that massive black holes could save massive photons in their inner that act as dark energy and could be cosmological coupled. This is in agreement with [
9], who show that nonsingular BHs are unlikely to be the source of dark energy.
For today we can calculate the energy density of the scalar field. As already mentioned, in a Big Crunch scenario there would be one massive black mega hole at the end with its mass
. If the Big Crunch is slow enough the black hole would shrink due to Hawking radiation [
10]. By the shrinking radius
more and more MPs would stay behind and when
reaches the Planck length the original sphere is filled with MPs with their Planck masses
. When this scenario is thought through further and since the black hole cannot fall below the Planck length (see
Appendix B), a rebound leads to a new Big Bang embedded in the scalar field of a predecessor universe. For calculating the energy density of this scalar field we use equation
8. And since the original mass
of the black hole is divided up to
N effective masses (see equation
14), we can write
Here
N is a natural number. With this number we can calculate the number density and then the mass density and end up with an equation for the scalar field mass density:
By taking the radius of the observable universe of
m for
which the Hubble parameter
delivers [
11], we end up with a mass density of
and slightly above the critical density
. This means in our model that the universe did not reach the Schwarzschild radius of the former mega black hole yet where the scalar field drops. By using the density of dark energy of the
CDM model of
, which includes a density parameter of
, we end up with a Schwarzschild radius of
m. Then this would mean for the future, when the radius of the observable universe reaches
, the scalar field would end and according to equation
17 the temporal derivative of the energy density would have a dropping negative value because the scalar field is "washed out" more and more during the further expansion. That means the scalar field would switch to a field with gravitative attraction leading to an already mentioned Big Crunch, because then there is no dark energy equivalent any more, but a lot of additional normal matter in this scalar field.
The late universe has a value for the Hubble parameter of
[
12]. This is the so called Hubble tension we explain by this model in
Section 3.
In
Appendix B the temperature in the black hole is derived by the model of the scalar field with effective photon mass. The temperature is the Hawking temperature. This shows that the temperature in the black hole (transmitted by the effective mass particle) is the same than around the black hole, transmitted by Hawking radiation, and there is a temperature coupling between inside and outside of the black hole.
7. Entropy
For the model of the oscillating universe the entropy has to be at a low value every time before the Big Bounce happens. That means first we have to know how the entropy changes when the black mega hole shrinks and the scalar field remains.
We start with equation
11 for the energy of a massive photon in the black hole:
Here
is used. After expanding the equation by
, we have en expression that includes the surface of the event horizon
:
With
, where
is the Planck mass, and equation
6,the following is obtained:
When the black hole is completely radiated by Hawking radiation, all the massive photons which remain should sum up to the mass
M of the black hole again and thus
. Here
N is a natural number. Then
Then the entropy
S is the following:
This entropy is the Beckenstein-Hawking entropy
when
. This can be explained by the mixture of degrees of freedom. Since the massive photons have
(see
Appendix B), but their is also massive baryonic matter in
M, that has
and both should be saved with their share in the black hole,
is a result of the mixture, that indicates that more massive photons are saved than baryonic matter.
The whole model scenario can be seen in
Figure 2. When the universe expands, it is embedded in a dark photon environment until it reaches
. Then the expanding universe is embedded in a scalar field of massive photons with an effect like the cosmological constant. During the expansion the entropy is growing. Today our universe has the size
. When it will reach
, the background scalar field will be "washed out" more and more and due to the Friedmann equation (see equation
17) the scalar field will act as a gravitational field and the universe will collapse. The massive photons in the scalar field will be absorbed by a mega black hole with a growing entropy. After it absorbed all the matter
, it will shrink by Hawking radiation, generating a new scalar field and the entropy stays constant. When the shrinking black hole reaches the Planck length the pressure gets that high (see
Appendix B), that this results in a Big Bounce and the next oscillation starts. In our model there is a reset of entropy during this process, which is shown in the following. We start with the Beckenstein Hawking entropy
S
The surface depends on the mass
M of the black hole
Here equation
8 is used. Then the entropy is the following:
When the black hole reaches the Planck length the reduced speed
C reaches
c and
. Thus
This shows that the entropy is reset to a quite low value and the next cycle starts.
