Zfinite Theory

Abstract

I'm just going to go for it. This submission form is a bit out of my depth. I am not a scientist just a person working through an idea. Developed with the assistance of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) for calculation and review. Zfinite Theory is a speculative, conceptual model of gravitational collapse. It proposes that true zero, matter with absolutely no room between its particles, exists in only one place: the endpoint of collapse inside a black hole, here called a Zfinite Point. The document works through the idea with standard physics: packed-core and horizon radii, a threshold mass from the exact constant-density solution of Einstein’s equations (about 7.5 solar masses, where the central pressure diverges), and the uncertainty-principle energy cost of zero spacing. It shows that zero-room matter has infinite sound speed, so it cannot exist as ordinary matter under relativity, and the model’s central hypothesis is that this breakdown is what a black hole is. That hypothesis would require new physics. The document compares the idea with neutron-star observations, the mass gap, and published finite-core models (Planck stars, gravastars, regular black holes). It records an earlier pressure-flip version and its causality problems, and it lists open questions. Calculated results, interpretations and hypotheses are labeled separately. This is not a peer-reviewed work.
