Trans-Generational Continuity of Dark Matter and Dark Energy

AbstractWe call it dark matter because we cannot see it. But darkness is our limitation, not its nature.This electromagnetically inert component constitutes 26.8% of the universe's energy content,while ordinary matter — the luminous, electromagnetically active matter of stars, planets, andliving things — constitutes only 4.9%. If any component is anomalous, it is ordinary matter. Wepropose that this invisible majority is more precisely termed Fundamental Matter (FM): the basicform of matter, interacting solely through gravity, of which ordinary matter is a complex,electromagnetically active derivative.Building on this reframing, we propose a hypothesis in which FM and dark energy, by virtue oftheir inert, non-electromagnetic nature, remain undisturbed in space while ordinary matterundergoes absorption and regeneration through black holes. FM undergoes equivalentexchange at the event horizon — entering and exiting in material state, without energy-formconversion, without encoding or decoding. Black holes are proposed to be extremeconcentration states of FM, sharing its essential electromagnetic inertness. Ordinary matter andvacuum energy are absorbed by supermassive black holes and subsequently re-emitted asHawking radiation, regenerating a new ordinary-matter sector within the pre-existing FM anddark energy background.This framework offers a unified, parsimonious explanation for several outstanding problems inmodern cosmology, and generates a set of falsifiable observational predictions. Version 1.3adds: (1) the Equivalent Exchange Principle for FM at the event horizon, (2) partial resolution ofthe black hole information paradox, (3) critical density calculation for the FM-to-black-hole phasetransition, and (4) clarification of Hawking radiation as a material-particle process.
