Black holes are the shadows of 4D objects (idea)

In summary, the idea that black holes are the shadows of 4D objects is based on mathematical models and equations in the field of general relativity, but there is currently no direct evidence for it. According to this theory, black holes are formed when a massive 4D object collapses under its own gravity, creating a singularity and an event horizon, which is the shadow of the 4D object in our 3D universe. However, it is not possible for us to directly observe or interact with objects in higher dimensions. The size and shape of a black hole's shadow can vary depending on the mass and spin of the 4D object, and the presence of other objects in the vicinity can also affect its shape. This

this is the idea...

Nope. Black holes form from regular 3D objects according to the rules of General Relativity. Besides, a shadow isn't a physical object. It's just a spot on a surface where the light has been blocked.

Also, you should be aware that discussion of personal theories/ideas such as this are against PF rules. We stick to mainstream science. I'm afraid I'm going to have to lock this thread.
 

1. What is the evidence for the idea that black holes are the shadows of 4D objects?

There is currently no direct evidence for this idea, but it is a theoretical concept that is based on mathematical models and equations in the field of general relativity.

2. How do black holes form in this theory?

In this theory, black holes are formed when a massive 4D object, such as a star, collapses under its own gravity and creates a singularity, which is a point of infinite density and zero volume. The event horizon, or the boundary of a black hole, is the shadow of the 4D object in our 3D universe.

3. Can we ever observe the 4D object that is creating the black hole?

No, it is not possible for us to directly observe or interact with objects in higher dimensions. We can only indirectly study their effects on our 3D universe through mathematical models and observations.

4. Do all black holes have the same shape and size if they are just shadows?

No, the size and shape of a black hole's shadow can vary depending on the mass and spin of the 4D object that created it. Additionally, the shape of the shadow can also be affected by the presence of other objects, such as stars, in the vicinity of the black hole.

5. How does this theory explain the phenomenon of Hawking radiation?

In this theory, Hawking radiation is explained as the emission of particles from the event horizon of the black hole, which is the shadow of the 4D object. This emission is due to quantum effects near the event horizon and causes the black hole to slowly lose mass and eventually evaporate.
