Abstract: It’s shown that black holes contradict laws of special relativity in some local inertial frames, which violates the equivalence principle. To solve the problem, a new metric for Schwarzschild geometry is derived that doesn’t predict black holes and is confirmed by observations.
1. Explain how the "alternative" theory differs from the mainstream theory in its predictions/explanations of phenomena.
Like the mainstream theory, GR, the alternative theory agrees with relevant observations, as shown in section 7, "Experimental confirmation of the new metric".
2. Outline why the alternative theory is superior to the mainstream one.
It obeys the equivalence principle, and the black hole information paradox doesn't apply to it.
3. Explain any flaws in the standard science one that are addressed by the alternative theory.
GR violates its own equivalence principle, and the black hole information paradox applies to it.
4. Outline any experimental evidence or tests that do/might enable us to distinguish between the alternative theory and the mainstream one, in order to determine which is superior.
This is covered in section 7, "Experimental confirmation of the new metric". Tests in stronger gravity than have been done, or more precise tests, could distinguish between the alternative theory and the mainstream one.
