There is absolutely symmetry around this point! The sequence has -1, 1, 0, 1, 1 which provides this. In fact I explain symmetry between the inside and outside of the BH AND Hawking Radiation's existence as -3, 2, -1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3.

Indeed the arrow of time with regard to entropy comes out of this too. So yes I agree it is not one way. Again it does say this in the essay. Information ought to come out of all Black Holes, it is just it may take longer for larger Black Holes

If anything, I think it is a strength of my essay that it seems to reproduce Hawking! And time! And entropy!

:)

No miracle in the skipping over 0-dimensionality I assure you. The "decay" mentioned in the essay is 0 -> -1 +1 which is highly symmetrical.

The Fibonacci sequence has -1, 1, 0, 1, 1 so that when we "move" deeper into the Black Hole in the thought experiment, 0 becomes virtually and mathematically.

Please note that there is No difference between 1 in the THREE places it appears in the sequence!

This is very important! This is what I mean by skip over. The 1 becomes conserved. The -1 can make the Black Hole lose mass by Hawking Radiation and the +1 can be emitted.

5.

I know about CPT conservation. As clarified above, the essay does e plain Hawking radiation very well. Further it explains why smaller black holes wouldn't exist as all Hawking Radiation would escape instantly. Larger Black Holes with 2-dimensional event horizons would conserved the lower dimensional -1, 1, 0, 1, 1 part of the sequence such that these quantum fluctuations, skipping over 0 if you like, or simply 1-dimensional pathways stay predominantly inside the BH. Some do escape, but the larger the BH the slower the rate of escape.

If you are worried about the information the seems to be trapped inside these larger BHs, don't! It wil either escape when the Universe reaches thermal equilibrium or it will trigger a new Big Bang. Similarly to what Sir Roger Penrose says.

Finally I agree that time is a mystery. I'm not saying I've solved it, but the Black Hole I described DOES conserve time! We might have to agree to disagree here!

I'll try to elaborate.

Not only does my theory agree with Hawking Radiation as already mentioned, but in its own right, we can see that time is unidirectional.

This theory shows through entropy that time is a simple plus one relationship limited to 3-dimensions spatially. Time reversal has to change sign, so please at least allow me to state that the entropy dropping by 1 as we move backwards in time is indeed symmetry?

I think that this is a very, very strong point I make, so I'm disappointed it hasn't been fully appreciated here.

Best wishes, again pleased to meet you, and thanks for the questions.

Some great questions from Thomas Howard Ray when he replied on Aug. 2, 2013

I've replied to these, as they are very important points I wanted to reinforce.

The arrow of time, entropy and Hawking radiation all arise in my essay, in a very clear, concise and simple way.

Also, symmetry being measured backward and forwards works precisely for the Fibonacci sequence. I'm not taking about mirroring the positive and negative parts of the sequence either side of 0, but when we descend from 3 towards -3 or go from -3 to 3 we still use the basic sum or subtraction of the previous two numbers.

Subtraction and addition are opposites, of course.

-3, 2, -1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3

Best wishes,

Antony

The other replies I've accidentally placed in your other comment below. Perhaps this was spooky action at a distance, a bug in the system again or just a simple mistake on my part! ;)

Cheers,

Antony

All,

Some have suggested that there ought to be prediction in my essay. Well here's some evidence of this.

These three masses arise from my main theory:

me = 0.510998928 MeV/c2, mp = 625.514697333333 MeV/c2, mn = 298.203666130845 MeV/c2

When put into th Koide Formula we get 1/2 , which is predicted rather than 2/3. To 0.49999994

Please note that these are three very different numbers, not two massive very close numbers and one tiny. Try it with the normal masses of the proton, neutron and electron!

The above numbers are adjusted masses based on Pi and simplex geometry. They relate the Electron, Proton and Neutron masses.

This is all from my main theory which has now shown in my essay what can happen to information when it falls into a Black Hole.

Hello again Anthony,

Thanks for making time to reply. I can relate your statement ...

"3-spatial dimension outside of a Black Hole where information can pass towards and away from a point in all pathways across all 3 dimensions"

... to a physical definition of "time" that I proposed a few years back : "n-dimension infinitely orientable metric on random, self-avoiding walk." Since in my construction "time" is identical to "information," I think we might have the same idea of what follows from that construction for n = 4:

You conjecture, "At the event horizon it (information) is limited to be BOTH received and revealed across 2-dimensions, so this is another unique environment for us to consider in the behaviour of information." I concur in this way:

Because time and information are identical, time reversibility demands for the sake of conserving time, energy and information, that time, information and energy are identical -- that they are the same phenomenon -- because at this extreme of gravity, we have a perfect representation of t = 0. That is critical information, and perfectly deterministic, as with t'Hooft's application of the Schrodinger equation to all scales.

Just one more thing -- "a point on the event horizon will be unique in that it is the ONLY place in the Universe where information is BOTH received and revealed 2-dimensionally" -- is essentially the conclusion of my last years' essay: The source of all information is a point at infinity.

All best,

Tom

Hello Tom,

Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at your essay from last year. Good that we've found a bit of common ground too.

It's even more encouraging that we draw similar conclusions from different approaches.

Best wishes,

Antony

I still am having trouble fully understanding your analysis of what happens beyond the event horizon, however, I would like to reiterate that I find your essay and your ideas to be very original and that I pretty much like anything that has to do with the Fibonacci sequence--your essay included.

- Kyle Miller

    Hello again Kyle,

    If you imagine converging pathways, then we can see they tend towards spaghettification. They hence tend towards 1-dimensionality. The sequence it seems confirms this, as you rightly suggest that we can't check. Also it then seems to confirm Hawking radiation, and the entropy analysis suggests an arrow of time!

    Thanks for the kind words too.

    Best wishes,

    Antony

    Hi Antony,

    Seemingly, it is interesting. However, I hope that you will construct theories of black hole and Hawking radiation from the Fibonacci-number based algebra. Is it possible?

    Best wishes,

    Yutaka

      Hi Yutaka,

      Most definitely! Algebra forms a large part of the main theory which resulted in this essay. My unification uses matrices to describe electromagnetism. Nice to see you climb the rankings!

      Best wishes,

      Hi Antony from Margriet O'Regan

      I use 'triangulations' in a very different way - see my reply to your & Stephen's 'thread' !! in my essay slot.

      A distinction I didn't make clear enough in my essay is as follows :-

      My own investigations have led me to conclude that 'information' is NOT digits - no kind nor amount of them (including any that can be extracted from quantum phenomena!), nor how algorithmically-well they may be massaged & shunted through any device that uses them.

      Unequivocally they - digits - make for wonderful COUNTING & CALCULATING assistants, witness our own now many & various, most excellent, counting, calculating devices BUT according to my investigations real thinking is an entirely different phenomenon from mere counting, calculating & computing.

      For which phenomenon - real thinking - real information is required.

      My own investigations led me to discover what I have come to believe real information is & as it so transpires it turns out to be an especially innocuous - not to omit almost entirely overlooked & massively understudied - phenomenon, none other than the sum total of geometrical objects otherwise quite really & quite properly present here in our universe. Not digits.

      One grade (the secondary one) of geometrical-cum-informational objects lavishly present here in our cosmos, is comprised of all the countless trillions & trillions of left-over bump-marks still remaining on all previously impacted solid objects here in our universe - that is to say, all of the left-over dents, scratches, scars, vibrations & residues (just the shapes of residues - not their content!) (really) existing here in the universe.

      Examples of some real geometrical objects of this secondary class in their native state are all of the craters on the Moon. Note that these craters are - in & of themselves - just shapes - just geometrical objects. And the reason they are, also one & at the same time, informational objects too, can be seen by the fact that each 'tells a story' - each advertises (literally) some items of information on its back - each relates a tale of not only what created it but when, where & how fast & from what angle the impacting object descended onto the Moon's surface. Again, each literally carries some information on its back.

      (Note : Not a digit in sight !!)

      How we actually think - rather than just count, calculate & compute - with these strictly non-digital entities, specifically these geometrical-cum-informational objects, in precisely the way we do, please see my essay.

      I did not make the distinction between computing with digits & real thinking with real information, sufficiently strongly in my essay.

      This contest is such a wonderful 'sharing' - Wow - & open to amateurs like myself - Wow. How great is that !!! Thank you Foundational Questions Institute !!! What a great pleasure it has been to participate. What a joy to read, share & discuss with other entrants !!!

      Margriet O'Regan

      Hi Antony,

      I found yours to be an interesting essay about numbers, their relationships and properties. You suggest a connection between Fibonacci sequence seed values and Wheeler's 0 and 1; you discuss Fibonacci numbers found in nature (in the structure of plants and bees) suggesting that these numbers and their relationships are a type of information known to nature at some level; and you suggest that Fibonacci numbers are a type of numeric information that relates to the properties of black holes and the reasons for a spatially 3 dimensional universe.

      You may recall that in my essay I developed a bit of a case that numbers are things that really exist; they are what I would call hidden information category self-relationships (not that anybody has commented on this assertion either positively or negatively). So I'm interested in asking other people about numbers: I wonder how you see the nature of numbers including Fibonacci numbers i.e. in what sense do you think they exist in relation to physical reality? (I hasten to add that this is not a quiz question that will be marked!!)

      I am giving you a good rating. Best of luck in the contest,

      Lorraine

        Dear Margriet,

        I agree the contest is fantastic for sharing ideas! I like your explanation. It fits with my essay in that the numbers in the Fibonacci sequence represent geometry, in this case the simplexes, being the simplest form of the n-dimensionality.

        Best wishes,

        Antony

        Hi Lorraine,

        Thanks very much for your kind comments and rating. I'm also relieved that I won't be marked on the answer to your question as I don't think my nerves can take another contest ;o)

        I think you are dead right that hidden information exists. I explain spooky action at a distance as hidden fixed constants, a play against hidden variables.

        My geometries explain the cosine non-linear relation between entangled particles in spin Alice/Bob type experiments exactly!

        As mentioned to Margriet - I think at least in the case of Fibonacci numbers, that they represent real geometry in the form of simplexes.

        From this I get symmetry breaking from complete nothingness, that also conserves the nothingness. In short it solves Baryon Asymmetry.

        I think this should apply to all numbers and that they apply to dimensionality and simplexes are the most fundamental geometry in n-dimensions.

        Great question!

        Best wishes for the contest!

        Antony

        Dear All,

        I'd just like to thank you for reading and commenting on my essay! I find it an honour that you have considered my reasoning. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading ALL the other essays!

        Best wishes to you all for you future's.

        Antony

        I'd just like to sum up my essay with one of my favourite comments above:

        "A thought-provoking take on the subject and an intriguing exploration of Pythagorean link between numbers and nature. In an accessible manner which can be convincing and comprehensible even to a layperson, the author successfully presents in few logical steps an attempt to combine the Fibonacci sequence with the questions of reality and its underpinning - information. What seems to be especially appealing is the intellectual effort to prove the possibility of deriving functions inherent to the fabric of realty from binary choices. In this concise essay the author skillfully manages to interweave the great questions of modern-day science such as the theory that information is fundamental to the physics of the universe, Hawking Radiation, entropy and quantum fluctuations. Fine base for further research that might possibly turn out to be an important jigsaw puzzle piece in tackling the problems of fundamental parameters, black hole information paradox and holographic principle".
