Growth of a Black Hole

TL;DR

This paper explores a new interpretation of physics near a Schwarzschild black hole, proposing a scenario where the horizon recedes and information loss is avoided, with unpredictable radiation potentially occurring.

Contribution

It introduces a novel scenario for black hole growth that eliminates the physical reality of the horizon and addresses the information loss paradox.

Findings

Horizon recedes as it is approached

Information loss conundrum is avoided

Radiation near black holes is unpredictable

Abstract

This paper studies the interpretation of physics near a Schwarzschild black hole. A scenario for creation and growth is proposed that avoids the conundrum of information loss. In this picture the horizon recedes as it is approached and has no physical reality. Radiation is likely to occur, but it cannot be predicted.
