Exotic prime numbers could be hiding inside black holes

3 hours ago

Prime numbers, which are indivisible by other natural numbers except themselves and one, are being linked to physics, particularly black holes, suggesting that mathematical truths about primes may govern fundamental laws of the universe.
Black holes contain singularities where classical physics breaks down, and chaos near these singularities resembles chaos found in prime numbers, leading to research that uses prime-based formulas to describe black hole features.
The Riemann hypothesis, a key conjecture in number theory involving the zeta function and its zeros, is central to understanding primes and has inspired physicists to explore physical systems with energy levels based on primes, such as hypothetical 'primon' particles.
In 2025, physicists demonstrated that fractal chaos emerges from the fluctuations of the zeta function's zeros, mirroring chaos near black hole singularities as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Researchers have discovered that near a singularity, a conformal symmetry arises, leading to a quantum system organized by prime numbers, termed a 'conformal primon gas,' and extended this to higher dimensions with 'complex primon gases' using Gaussian primes.
New frameworks involving the zeta function, expanded to include real numbers, are being developed to tackle quantum gravity, offering broader perspectives and potential breakthroughs in understanding black holes and fundamental physics.
