Yeah or Nay on Black Holes as Explanation for Dark Energy?
Stéphane Maes
Abstract
Two recent papers argue having observationally confirmed that black holes could explain the universe accelerated expansion as sources of such expansion. These papers have generated a large interest in the wider public.The present paper presents arguments against, and a few in favor of such a proposal, as well as some variations on what could happen if the answer to the title was positive. Even if it isn’t.Then, we analyze the proposal in a multi-fold universe, where we can take advantage of more microscopic interpretations. Some could support the new proposal, but overall, most seem to go against it.Our conclusions are that while it might be possible that black holes could explain the acceleration of the universe expansion, because based on solutions to General Relativity (GR), we have more arguments against that view than in favor. It is therefore our conclusion on the matter: it’s a nay.
