ZIPPED: Deterministic Prediction of Core-Collapse Supernovae Through Spacetime Elasticity and Inverse-Proportional Dynamics
Abstract
The Zwanenburg Predictor represents the first deterministic approach to forecasting the outcomes of core-collapse supernovae. Utilizing measured implosion velocity and rotational indices, the predictor calculates the percentage of energy transferred to spacetime rips, classifying the resulting stellar remnant as a White Dwarf, Neutron Star, Hypernova, or Black Hole. Validation is performed using ten historical supernovae. This manuscript details the predictive methodology, fundamental parameters, equations, and historical validation, establishing a reproducible and mechanical approach.
