What is a red hole?

Answer 1

A Red Hole is a theoretically possible perception of a Black Hole.

I agree there's probably 'nothing new under the sun' but would like to know where the questioner heard the term as it has only arisen recently as a result of some independent theoretical physics work on gravity, time, and waves being carried out now.

The way it works is this;

Light both is and is not affected by gravity.

Escaping from a very large gravitational generator, i.e. 'close to' a black hole, it maintains the 'speed of light' but only with red shift (the wave length increases). Ergo, The viewer sees red light.

Simple Newtonian Physics tells us light escaping from objects near a black hole, (the light moving away from the black hole), will be proportionally affected.

This could of course perhaps create what we might perceive as a 'Red Giant' Star, not quite a Black Hole, but feeding to become one, or perhaps the outer visible 'shell' of a region of space with a black hole at it's centre, or even perhaps put even more simply a feeding black hole.

This is a small and simple snap shot of a quantum part of some theoretical physics, and this bit may not even obey our local Laws of Physics! The only thing 'certain' (ha!) is that gravity affected light we see should have a red shift. Hence the term 'Red Hole'. As usual there are plenty of questions left unanswered by this reply, and very few in this particular area answered theoretically in the main body of work.

This will not yet have come into the public domain from this work. The term hasn't been fed into the work from outside, but the theory is all out there so it would be very interesting to find out where it came from and what other related work has been done or theories generated.

Answer 2

A "red hole" is not a recognized scientific term or concept. It may be a confusion with "red giant," which is a large, relatively cool star in the later stages of its life cycle.
