Mostly-Destructive Consequences of Non and Nowhere Analyticity of the Spacetime Metric; and New "2-Sided Mirror Paradigm" Hypothetical Grandiose Universe Picture

Authors: Warren D. Smith

We explore consequences of my previous discovery (http://vixra.org/abs/2605.0004 Smith 2026) that Einstein general relativity vacuum solutions are not necessarily real-analytic, and indeed can be (hence presumably generically are, since the analytically-smooth spacetime metrics form an infinitesimally tiny subset of the much wider class of permitted functions) nowhere-analytic. These consequences are hugely destructive for many former physics ideas that implicitly or explicitly assumed analyticity – such as "ER=EPR," "AdS-CFT," or "maximal analytic extensions" – and I will duly obliterate them! A Monte Carlo estimate is that 1-20 thousand general-relativity papers are invalidated. However, in an unexpected brief creative interlude during that apocalyptic demolition, I invented the promising new "mirror paradigm," which might be crazy, but if valid offers a simple nice way to resolve most or all famous "paradoxes" associated with black holes, and also provides a whole new mental picture of the entire universe. Amazingly, I found out soon after posting v1 that almost exactly the same idea (under the name "black mirror") was invented independently 1.5 years before by Tzanavaris, Boyle, and Turok (TBT) although mostly for different reasons. At the end I attempt to reconcile all Smith-versus-TBT discrepancies while showing all apparent obstacles to this picture are only apparent, to produce a mirroring hypothesis we hopefully all can agree is the right proposal and makes sense. I also, surprisingly, make new observations even about the hugely-studied Schwarzschild/Kruskal black hole, including proposing arguably-local metrical tests for event-horizons (a feat often claimed impossible by prior authors).
