Black-Hole Predictions
Both predictions below follow from the same regular metric's core-scale parameter g, and are internally checked in the lab against the theory's own equations — not yet against real telescope or gravitational-wave data.
ISCO shift scales as g³
internally checkedδr_ISCO ~ O(g³ / (GM)²)
- Required parameters
- Core-scale parameter g, black-hole mass M
- Predicted result
- Cubic scaling with g (fitted exponent: 3.00024)
- Competing (standard) prediction
- Standard Schwarzschild ISCO at r = 6GM, no core-scale correction
- Required instrument/data
- Precision measurement of innermost stable circular orbit radius (e.g. from X-ray binary spectroscopy)
Falsification criterion: A measured ISCO deviation that does not scale as g³ with core parameter, or that is absent entirely at any g.
See the check for this claim →Shadow-size bound from core scale
internally checkedg ≲ 0.5 GM (from current EHT precision)
- Required parameters
- Core-scale parameter g, black-hole mass M
- Predicted result
- Shadow diameter correction constrained to g ≲ 0.5 GM at current (~10–17%) EHT measurement precision
- Competing (standard) prediction
- Standard Schwarzschild/Kerr shadow, no core-scale correction
- Required instrument/data
- Higher-precision EHT (or successor) shadow-diameter measurements
Falsification criterion: A precisely measured shadow diameter inconsistent with any g satisfying the bound, or requiring g outside the physically expected range.
