Abstract
Experiments in high-energy particle physics reveal that neutrons withstand very high levels of mutual compression – the levels expected inside Neutron Stars. No limit to this elastic compressibility is indicated. A new approach to the general relativity (GR) modelling of Neutron Star cores is here suggested, utilizing a robust internal observer. As Neutron Stars are modelled at increasing masses, upon reaching a certain critical mass suggested as ~5Mʘ, they undergo a smooth transition to Black Holes – defined as the point at which Neutron Stars become electro-magnetically invisible. At this critical mass, two concentric spherical event horizons of radius ~7km develop simultaneously. At higher masses, these separate to form both an outer horizon (as predicted in GR), as well as a (non-Cauchy or Kerr) inner horizon not predicted in GR. This inner horizon prevents any collapse of the core and the formation of a singularity. Absent any singularity, the speculated formation of wormholes is not possible.
Peer reviewers said: "This is a very useful idea, making black holes amenable to mathematical investigation, rather than having theorists simply call it a singularity and give up" Cosmology Research, 2025.
