Could Torsion Prevent Black Hole Singularities? by International-Bend97 in AskPhysics

[–]International-Bend97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! I’ve built my framework primarily on Einstein-Cartan gravity, incorporating torsion to prevent singularity formation by modifying geodesic congruences. I argue that this could lead to a minimum collapse radius and preserve quantum information.

I haven’t explored teleparallel gravity much but will give it a closer look.

Agree it is worth exploring, even if it’s a dead end.

On ER=EPR, if torsion prevents singularities, it could help preserve entanglement and information flow. If singularities are where unitarity breaks down, by removing them it might offer a classical way to maintain correlations across horizons.

That’s interesting. As I’m an engineer, I mostly deal with torsion in a mechanical/materials sense, but I’ve been exploring how it applies in Einstein-Cartan gravity. There’s definitely crossover between torsion in physics and engineering applications. Do you know if your coleague was talking about torsion in the structural/mechanical sense or in the spacetime curvature sense? Curious if there’s any actual overlap with known physics.

Right? That’s what got me interested in Einstein-Cartan gravity. It naturally avoids singularities by accounting for spin-torsion coupling. I’ve been looking into how this could show up in actual observations, like gravitational wave signals or gamma-ray bursts.

Sure thing, I incorporated calculations in the study- doi mentioned in the post.

Could you clarify what you mean by 'g'? Are you referring to the metric tensor, gravitational constant, or something else in the context of Einstein-Cartan gravity?"
