P28: Black Holes Demystified: What They Actually Are, the Universal Centrality Rule, Why Singularities Cannot Form, and Why Hawking Radiation Doesn't Exist

singularities and event horizons. This paper argues that no such objects exist. What are observed as black holes are vortical compression cores — organised, finite-density structures sustained by rotational dynamics within the Spaticle field substrate. Three formation pathways are identified: (1) large-scale rotational aggregation, which is inherently self-sustaining; (2) stellar collapse, which produces transient seed cores; and (3) explosive release events (supernovae, hypernovae, gamma-ray bursts), which similarly generate seed cores. These pathways are unified by the Rotational Sustenance Principle, introduced here: no vortical compression core can persist without continuous rotational reinforcement from surrounding matter. A quantitative dissipation timescale, τdissip = Rd / c, is derived for unreinforced seed cores. The paper establishes the Universal Centrality Rule — that every vortical core occupies the exact dynamical centre of its host system — as a structural consequence of formation physics rather than an observational coincidence. The classical singularity and event horizon are replaced by a physically defined four-region finite-core architecture. Hawking radiation is shown to have no physical realisation: all five foundational premises it requires describe conditions that do not exist in a Spaticle substrate universe. The galaxy-whirlpool analogy is given rigorous grounding within the physical conditions of three-dimensional infinite space and the Spaticle medium. Nine common theoretical claims about black holes are examined and addressed. Seven falsifiable predictions are presented.
