A Scalar-Tensor Theory with Emergent Bond Dynamics: Oscillatory Black Hole Cores and Classical Hawking Radiation

The scalar-tensor theory introduced in the manuscript is a novel framework that attempts to address the core problems in general relativity, such as the singularity problem, the information paradox that arises with the present theories about black holes, and other such problems. The theory naturally describes the core of the black hole not as a point of infinite density; rather, it is an oscillatory core. The space is described as a sea of bonds of space and time particles, respectively called "spaceons" and "chronons." The theory also attempts to derive the classical Hawking radiation expression, which is in principle a semi-classical theory. The theory ends with predictions for its falsifiability and notes the future directions. A detailed derivation of correspondence with general relativity is given in the appendix of the manuscript.
