Computational validation of the Universe-inside-Black-Hole hypothesis with geometric inflation via non-minimal scalar coupling
Overview • Key Results • Architecture • Installation • Validation • References
This project implements and validates the hypothesis that our observable universe originated from the interior of a parent black hole, using modified gravity (non-minimal scalar field coupling ξRφ²) to generate cosmic inflation without exotic matter.
Primary Hypothesis: Gaztañaga (2022) - Black Hole Universe (BHU)
- Schwarzschild interior metric inverts to FLRW cosmology
- Geometric duality: Rs ≈ RH (Schwarzschild radius ≈ Hubble radius)
Secondary Framework: Starobinsky/Higgs Inflation
- Non-minimal coupling: L = -½ξRφ² - ½(∂φ)² - V(φ)
- Plateau potential in Einstein frame enables slow-roll
Validation Method: Numerical general relativity + cosmological perturbation theory
Objective: Confirm Rs/RH ≈ 1 for viable parent black hole
| Parameter | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Parent Mass (M) | 5.0 × 10²² | M☉ |
| Schwarzschild Radius (Rs) | 1.48 × 10²⁶ | m |
| Hubble Radius (interior) | 1.35 × 10²⁶ | m |
| Ratio (Rs/RH) | 1.096 | dimensionless |
Status: Hypothesis validated within 10% margin
Figure 1: Metric inversion from Schwarzschild interior to FLRW cosmology. The plot shows scale factor evolution extracted from the black hole geometry.
Objective: Find critical coupling ξ for N ≥ 60 e-folds
Method: Parallel parameter sweep (multiprocessing)
- Integrator: LSODA (adaptive stiffness switching)
- Time window: 5000 Planck units
- Precision: rtol = 10⁻⁵
| ξ (coupling) | N (e-folds) | Spectral Index (ns) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9.4 | 0.893 | Insufficient |
| 10 | 18.5 | 0.946 | Insufficient |
| 100 | 61.7 | 0.967 | TARGET |
| 1000 | 133.3 | 0.985 | Over-inflated |
| 10000 | 192.1 | 0.990 | Over-inflated |
Critical Finding: ξ = 100 produces:
- Horizon problem solution (N = 61.7 > 60)
- Flatness (Ωk → 0)
- Planck-compatible spectral index (ns ≈ 0.965 ± 0.004)
The effective gravitational constant scales as:
G_eff = G / (1 + ξφ²)
During inflation (φ ~ 1 in Planck units), G_eff ≈ G/100, creating a geometrically flattened potential analogous to Starobinsky R² gravity.
Validation Metric: Linear scaling N ∝ log(ξ)
Implementation: Jordan frame scalar-tensor gravity
State vector: y = [a, H, φ, v_φ, ρ_r]
- Geometry
da/dt = a·H
- Modified Friedmann
dH/dt = -4π G_eff (ρ_total + p_total)
G_eff = G / (1 + ξφ² + αφ⁴)
- Scalar Field (damped)
d²φ/dt² + (3H + Γ)·dφ/dt + V'(φ) = 0
V(φ) = ½m_φ²φ²
- Radiation Generation
dρ_r/dt + 4H·ρ_r = Γ·(dφ/dt)²
Key Innovation: Velocity formulation (v_φ) instead of momentum (π_φ = a³v_φ) to avoid numerical overflow at large scale factors.

Objective: Convert inflaton kinetic energy into thermal radiation
Mechanism: Perturbative decay Γφ → Standard Model particles
The decay term Γ(dφ/dt)² acts as a friction coefficient, damping scalar field oscillations while populating the radiation density.
Thermodynamic Constraint:
T_reheat = (ρ_r)^(1/4) > 1 MeV (nucleosynthesis threshold)
T_reheat < 10^16 GeV (monopole problem)
Status: Mechanism implemented and verified for low-ξ regime

Computational Challenge: For ξ=100, oscillation period ~ 10⁶ Planck times requires extensive CPU resources (~hours per run).

Interior Schwarzschild metric:
ds² = -dτ² + (1 - r²/Rs²)⁻¹dr² + r²dΩ²
Effective FLRW:
a_eff = r / Rs
H_eff = (c/r) √(Rs/r - 1)
Slow-roll parameters:
ε = (1/2)(V'/V)² / (8πG_eff)
η = V''/V / (8πG_eff)
e-folds:
N = ∫ H dt = ln(a_end/a_start)
For ξ >> 1 (Einstein frame):
N ≈ (3/4)ξφ_i² (quadratic potential)
Instantaneous reheating approximation:
T_reh = (90/π²g_*)^(1/4) √(Γ M_Pl)
For Γ ~ 10⁻³ (natural units):
T_reh ~ 10⁻² M_Pl ~ 10¹⁶ GeV
Problem: Inflation equations are stiff (ε << 1) during slow-roll but non-stiff during oscillations.
Solution: LSODA method (Livermore Solver for Ordinary Differential equations with Automatic method switching)
Problem: Momentum formulation π_φ = a³v_φ overflows when a ~ e^N ~ 10²⁶
Solution: Direct integration of velocity v_φ = dφ/dt
