Creation and Collapse Mechanism: Forward and Reverse Pathways, Quantization, and the 2.8\,M_\odot Fundamental Black Hole Unit

Abstract

This work presents a comprehensive, plain-language framework detailing the symmetrical relationship between the forward construction of matter and its gravitational reversal. The hypothesis outlines a five-part model spanning from fundamental fields to black hole formation: Part 1: Building (Forward): Matter is constructed in four distinct steps, each governed by a fundamental force of nature. Starting from the Higgs field and strong force (gluons) providing quark masses, through weak interactions (Z boson) forming neutrons, magnetism/W boson processes, to electromagnetism (photons) forming atoms. Part 2: The Window of Life: Chemistry, molecules, biology, and complexity emerge during a finite window of time sustained by stellar pressure balance and nuclear fusion. Part 3: Stellar Collapse & Quantization: As fusion consumes fuel in increasingly smaller core regions, it ultimately transitions from energy-releasing to energy-absorbing. Analogous to nuclear quantization in helium synthesis, the collapse rejects excess mass as energy, forming a fundamental quantized black hole unit. Part 4: Reversal by Gravity (Reverse): Gravity reverses the construction steps in exact succession—destroying atoms (white dwarf stage), executing electron capture via W bosons, releasing quarks via deconfinement, reducing strong force binding, and returning the Higgs field value to zero (v \rightarrow 0). Part 5: The 2.8\,M_\odot Fundamental Unit: The initial black hole forms a fundamental unit of approximately 2.8 solar masses, acting as a baseline structure for larger formations.
