Dark Matter: Speculation toward Black Hole Remnants

The standard picture of black holes relies on Hawking radiation, a prediction that has never been observed and that appears to contradict the causal structure of the horizon. This paper proposes an alternative. Black holes may have no horizon, only a transition zone where matter compresses, fuses, and radiates energy. The remnant is a small, incredibly dense object that does not interact with light or matter—a candidate for dark matter. The paper is speculative. The author does not claim it is correct. The author claims it is worth considering.
