The Information Paradox Resolved: Black Holes as Motion-Quenching Engines of Equilibrium

This paper presents a complete, physically grounded resolution to the Black Hole Information Paradox using the framework of Informational Cosmology. The central proposal is that black holes do not destroy information—they destroy motion. During gravitational collapse, a perfectly symmetric rebound shock forms at the core, cancelling all spin, vibration, and oscillation in the trapped energy. Because motion is structured information, this shock erases identity and returns matter to the equilibrium Reality Field. The mechanism is reinforced by four pillars of established physics: (1) core-collapse supernova shocks, (2) trapped-surface formation, (3) gravitational redshift driving local frequencies to zero, and (4) the zero-entropy interior implied by black-hole thermodynamics. Black holes are therefore motion-quenching separation engines rather than singularities. As black holes travel through space, their consumption of motion-rich matter leaves behind expanding regions of motionless equilibrium energy—interpreted here as dark energy. They ultimately evaporate when they enter regions already dominated by equilibrium, depriving them of the motion required for stability. Hawking radiation emerges naturally as equilibrium-state emission, and the Page curve follows from the decreasing informational capacity of the shrinking horizon. This framework resolves the Information Paradox without invoking firewalls, wormholes, holography, or exotic physics, offering instead a minimal, testable, and thermodynamically consistent account of black-hole behaviour.   For open discussion, updates, replication attempts, and community engagement around Informational Cosmology, readers are invited to join the official Informational Cosmology Research Group on Facebook.
