Fuzzy, hollow black holes (spacetime governs motion)

For the physics geeks - I really enjoyed the new PBS (hack, ptui!) Spacetime video about hollow, fuzzy black holes. But I have a much, much simpler way to get to the same result.



Assume Spacetime is a field with a large positive baseline and a specific elasticity (inverse square law & C), which governs motion. (Momentum/velocity is a localized wave.) All other fields withdraw energy from Spacetime, which cannot go below a zero value. Gravity and relativistic effects result from the slope of local gradients. (Motion = sine, proper time = cosine.) That's it. That's all there is to it. What follows (among other things) is that black holes are fuzzy, hollow shells.  

Incoming particles hit the zero energy barrier and bounce, but they can't go out because of the nearly vertical gradient which keeps pushing them back in, so they just sort of slide around.  Each incoming particle makes the black hole a tiny bit larger and adds to its overall momentum.  This allows black holes to move through space and spin.  This also preserves the kinetic energy of the particles, because total energy must be preserved.  It prevents absurdities like singularities, negative energy, and infinite imaginary velocity.

It amuses and reassures me that I keep finding confirmation of my simple theory in different places and different topics.  (Note that my previous post on this topic was almost a month before the Spacetime video was released.)  I just wish I could find somebody in academia who would take this seriously.  Since I don't have a degree in the subject, I must obviously know nothing, right?  I guess physics using basic trigonometry and algebra just isn't sexy and complicated enough, unlike the 40 year failure that is string theory.
