    Ibrahim, John (2026) Quantisation of the Speed of Light in Black Holes: A Non-Perturbative Origin of the Universe and a Perturbative Resolution of the Information Paradox. Results in Physics, 85: 108650. pp. 1-112. ISSN 2211-3797

    Abstract

    We develop a quantum-gravity framework in which, within extreme regimes such as black-hole interiors, the fundamental speed of light is promoted to a quantum operator that does not commute with spacetime, thereby inducing a quantised metric whose nonlinear back-reaction prevents the geometry from approaching physical singularities. Within this structure, an internal Hawking-like excitation — the anti-eigen flux — can tunnel outward through quantum-corrected horizons. We apply this framework to cosmology by tracing initial conditions to a primordial black hole whose fields saturate the lower bound of non-perturbative quantisation, enforcing a fundamental asymmetry between the tunnelling probabilities of the anti-eigen flux and standard Hawking radiation. This asymmetry drives the non-perturbative primordial black hole along a negentropic trajectory toward an intrinsically unstable Planck-scale black hole, which inevitably generates a quantum-gravitational jerk (recoil) of 2.175 × 10^61 hawkings — an event we term the Jerk Tremendous — triggering a transition to classical behaviour, decoupling gravitational and quantum dynamics, and yielding an asymptotically free gravitational universe without a cosmological constant problem. In the perturbative regime of black hole quantisation, tunnelling probabilities become symmetric, restoring unitarity and ensuring the conservation of information.

    Additional Information: This is the Author's Extended Manuscript, providing a comprehensive 112-page mathematical derivation accompanying the work published in Results in Physics. It develops a non-perturbative quantum gravity framework in which the speed of light is treated as a quantum operator, introduces the ‘Jerk Tremendous’ mechanism at the origin of the universe, and presents a unitary perturbative resolution of the black hole information paradox.
