Instant Internal Evaporation of Black Holes: A Relativistic Perspective

1. Introduction

Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity becomes so intense that not even light can escape. Traditional interpretations describe them as long-lived, slowly evaporating objects due to Hawking radiation. However, from a relativistic perspective, time dilation near the event horizon complicates this view.

The present theory introduces the idea of instant internal evaporation: a model in which a black hole forms, evolves, and evaporates nearly instantaneously within its own frame of reference, while appearing eternal from an external observer’s perspective.

2. Relativistic Time Dilation

According to general relativity, time slows down in strong gravitational fields. Near the event horizon, the gravitational potential becomes extreme, effectively stopping time from the viewpoint of a distant observer.

If time truly halts at the singularity’s boundary, then the internal physical processes of a black hole occur on vastly different timescales compared to the universe outside. This leads to a logical paradox if black holes are assumed to persist indefinitely in all frames.

The proposed solution is that the internal frame experiences an extremely rapid, almost instantaneous process of evaporation or transformation, maintaining the consistency of physical laws.

3. Instantaneous Evaporation in the Proper Frame

Let t_ext denote external time and t_int the proper time inside the black hole. As gravitational time dilation increases:

dt_int / dt_ext → 0

From the perspective of the black hole, internal evolution proceeds normally; however, due to this extreme time dilation, it completes its entire lifespan in an infinitesimal amount of its own proper time.

This implies that black holes may not exist as stable, long-lived entities in their own frame but as instantaneous collapses that release their energy in accordance with quantum and relativistic constraints.

4. Relation to Hawking Radiation

Hawking’s model predicts that black holes lose mass due to quantum effects near the event horizon, producing particle-antiparticle pairs. One falls in (carrying negative energy) while the other escapes as radiation.

In the proposed interpretation, this process remains valid but is temporally compressed from the black hole’s perspective. The entire evaporation may occur as a near-instantaneous quantum event, while an external observer perceives it as gradual due to the relativistic stretching of time.

5. Inflation and Internal Dynamics

The theory also draws an analogy between the internal dynamics of black holes and cosmic inflation. If internal spacetime expands (or collapses) at near-light speeds, inflation-like effects could lead to an internal explosion or burst, consistent with the apparent release of energy predicted by Hawking evaporation.

This would mean that the singularity is not a point of infinite density but rather a transitional phase — a relativistic boundary beyond which conventional notions of time and space no longer apply.

6. Conservation of Physical Laws

One of the main motivations for this model is to preserve the consistency of physical laws across all frames of reference. If physics cannot “break,” then relativity demands that the formation and evaporation of black holes occur in a way that remains internally self-consistent.

In this view, black holes are not exceptions to physical law but demonstrations of it — regions where time dilation ensures the conservation of causality.

7. Predictions and Implications

• Black holes, in their own frame, undergo complete evaporation nearly instantaneously.
• External observers perceive these processes as extremely prolonged due to gravitational time dilation.
• The apparent stability of black holes may be an observational illusion caused by relativistic effects.
• The interior collapse could produce an inflation-like burst, offering a potential link to the mechanism of cosmic inflation.

8. Conclusion

The proposed concept of instant internal evaporation offers a new way to view black holes without violating the laws of relativity or quantum mechanics. It suggests that black holes form and evaporate in an instant from their own frame, maintaining physical consistency, while appearing to live for immense cosmic timescales externally.

Further mathematical modeling using relativistic field equations could refine this concept and possibly yield observable predictions about the late stages of black hole evolution.
