Title: Proof that a Black Hole does not have a Singularity.
Post by: talanum1 on 11/11/2020 09:10:32
Here is the proof:

Line number       Statement                                               Reason
1.                        Assume a Black Hole has a matter density singularity.   Assumption.
2.                        We know that a Black Hole has a temperature.              Empirical knowledge.
3.                        Having a temperature implies the Black Hole has
                           particles with an average Kinetic Energy.                  2.
4.                       This contradicts 1, since there is no space for them to
                          move in.                                              1, 3.

We know that a Black Hole has a temperature.

The temperature of a black hole is due to the Hawking radiation at the event horizon, not the singularity. Your "proof" is no proof at all.

2 is dubious; 3 is wrong.
The temperature of the radiation from a black hole is the temperature of that radiation, not the temperature of the BH itself.

Since - so far as it has a meaning- the temperature concerns particles which are outside the EH of the BH (and potentially indefinitely far from the BH itself, you can't justify those statements.

If you had a BH the mass of the Earth then the radiation of which you were measuring the temperature would be coming from the EH. That's about 88 mm from the BH itself.
Now, I accept that 88mm isn't very far, but the point remains it's not zero.
