From Spatial Cracks to the Collapse of Reality: A Unified Mechanism of Causal Restructuring, the Recycling Role of Black Holes, and a Solution to Wave Function Collapse and the Time Travel Paradox

This paper proposes a new mechanical solution to the Grandfather Paradox, addressing the limitations of both Novikov’s Self-Consistency Principle and the Many-Worlds Interpretation. We introduce the Universal Recycling Factory Hypothesis, which posits that the universe is not a static system but a dynamic, self-correcting one that resolves causal inconsistencies through a full-scale Timeline Override & Reset (TOR). The trigger for this collapse is information from future states leaking into the present via hypothesized "spatial cracks," a mechanism that also provides a physical explanation for the collapse of the wave function at the quantum level. In this framework, black holes are reconceptualized not as singularities but as cosmic recycling factories that process the energy and information from collapsed realities. We propose a "Gravitational-Frictional Phase Transition" within accretion disks that transforms ordinary matter into cold dark matter, simultaneously explaining the origin of dark matter and providing an energy source for cosmic expansion. This unified model resolves several cosmological mysteries and offers concrete, testable predictions, including unique radiation signatures, gravitational wave bursts, and dark matter-black hole correlations, providing a pathway for empirical verification.
