From Chaos To Collapse Proof: A Lattice QCD Based Equation of State for Finite Density Black Hole Interiors and the Stabilization of Gravitational Collapse
Abstract
By replacing the unphysical singularity with a finite-density polyquark core, this model demonstrates that short-range QCD interactions and quark degeneracy pressure can naturally halt gravitational collapse. Using a lattice-QCD constrained equation of state coupled to the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations, we provide regular, non-singular solutions that satisfy all classical field equations while maintaining standard Schwarzschild exteriors. This framework resolves the black hole singularity problem through a physically grounded unification of general relativity and the strong nuclear force, offering measurable predictions for the interiors of ultra-dense astrophysical objects.
