Three Worlds: A Causal Resolution to the Black Hole Information Paradox

The black hole information paradox arises from the assumption that quantum information must remain accessible within a single, globally connected spacetime. We propose that this assumption is physically unjustified. Instead, the event horizon acts as an absolute causal boundary that bifurcates reality into three causally disjoint worlds: (I) the external universe, (II) the black hole interior, and (III) a nascent universe born from Planck-scale gravitational collapse. Within this Three-Worlds Theory, unitarity is preserved in each world separately; the thermal character of Hawking radiation reflects causal isolation—not information loss. Crucially, only black holes with spacelike point singularities (e.g., near-Schwarzschild) generate sufficient local stress on the fundamental relational fabric to trigger topological reconfiguration and birth World III. Rotating (Kerr) black holes, with their timelike ring singularities, distribute curvature over a loop and fail to exceed the critical pressure threshold—thus producing only two worlds. The energy transfer to World III manifests as dark energy in World I, predicting a slowly time-varying Hubble parameter. This background-independent, four-dimensional framework resolves the paradox without firewalls, remnants, extra dimensions, or modifications to quantum theory.
