Seven hidden dimensions could stop black holes from evaporating, new physics suggests
A new theoretical study proposes that if the universe has seven dimensions arranged in a G2-manifold geometry, a torsion-induced repulsive force could halt Hawking evaporation at a tiny stable remnant, allowing the black hole to store the information and potentially resolve the information paradox. The model links the existence of extra hidden dimensions to a mechanism that mirrors the Higgs field and predicts concrete, testable implications such as ultra-heavy Kaluza-Klein particles, while acknowledging that a full quantum gravity theory is needed and direct experimental tests are far beyond current capabilities.
