Black Hole as a Cosmic Cooking Pot: New Theory Reveals Its 'Kitchen' Secrets express
A black hole is not a bottomless funnel but a cosmic cooking pot. Inside it, matter obeys laws familiar to us from the behavior of water: under some conditions it resembles boiling steam, under others — a cooling liquid. Physicists added a tiny stringy “spring” to the calculations — a correction from string theory that distorts the rules at the smallest scale.
Modeling showed: just change the pressure, and the black hole changes its state abruptly — just like a kettle where water suddenly boils.
The groundwork for such comparisons was laid by Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein back in the 1970s, when they showed that black holes have temperature and entropy (a measure of internal disorder). The new theory turns a black hole into a laboratory for testing ideas about spacetime curvature. And at ultra-low temperatures, scientists suggest, it could even 'freeze' into a strange quantum state — a step towards unraveling how the very fabric of the cosmos is structured.

Inspired by non-commutative geometry in string theory, we propose extended derivatives in black hole physics by incorporating a real antisymmetric tensor of rank 2 carrying similarities of certain stringy fields. Using gauge theory formulation of gravity via de Sitter group theory, we first find the associated black hole solutions by solving the Einstein field equations. Then, we study the thermodynamic properties by approaching the stability analysis, the criticality, and the phase transitions. Concretely, we investigate the P-V criticality behavior of the obtained solution. We compute and examine the Gibbs free energy revealing comparable attitudes with the Van der Waals phase transitions. Combining such results, we provide constraints on the deformed parameter B and the charge Q with the help of CUDA numerical methods exploited in machine learning computations. Precisely, we show that there are suitable ranges for such parameters where the obtained black holes behave like the Van der Waals fluid systems.
Black holes not only 'boil', but also slowly evaporate, losing mass through Hawking radiation — much like a puddle disappears in the sun, only on a cosmic scale.
Just like in sci-fi, where exotic matter is needed for wormholes, string corrections alter black hole properties, making their behavior surprisingly mundane.
