Vacuum energy redistribution near a black hole

Authors/Creators

Description

Applying the same assumptions used to resolve divergence issues in QFT without renormalization, this paper models redistribution of vacuum energy near a black hole (BH) into dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM) components such that the net energy of the cosmological vacuum is zero. The results provide a compelling explanation for the origin of dark energy and dark matter, flat galactic rotation curves, matter density parameters, Hubble tension, and the physics that drives the evolution of the universe.

Notes

V2.1.0 includes the following updates: 

1. Clarified physical interpretation relating dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) components of cosmological vacuum to quantum vacuum. 

2. New Section 6 applies DM-DE halo formula to develop a cyclic model of a black hole universe (BHU). This update expands on the non-cyclic model in Version 2.0.0 of this work.

3. Derived an expression relating the Hubble constant to the radius (or mass) of the cyclic BHU. This update clarifies the origin of the Hubble tension.

4. Added explanation for rapid black hole disintegration at BHU mass singularity and subsequent vacuum equilibration until the next Big Bang event. Computed mass of ordinary matter (OM) released at the singularity.

5. New Fig. 8 (a) and Fig. 8 (b) depicts BH, DM, and DE masses during an Aeon period. 

6. New Fig. 9 (a) shows variation of matter density parameters (MDP) for ordinary matter (OM), DM, and DE over an Aeon; Fig. 9 (b) shows the variation of OM mass over an Aeon.

7. New Table 5. gives Aeon timeline from the Big Bang (BB) to the next BB at time 30.4 Gly.
