The secrets of black holes and the Higgs mass could be hidden in a 7D geometry (phys.org)

A new theoretical study suggests that in a 7-dimensional version of Einstein–Cartan gravity with torsion, black hole evaporation could stop at a stable “remnant” instead of fully disappearing. The remnant would preserve information via its spectrum of quasi-normal modes, offering a possible resolution to the black hole information paradox. The same 7D geometry, when reduced to four dimensions, is argued to naturally link to the electroweak scale associated with the Higgs field.
