I have hypothesized that a black hole is the same as dark matter, causing spacetime curvature in the absence of matter. Additionally, I have hypothesized that ordinary matter is formed by transforming the mass-energy of spacetime, thereby reducing the residual spacetime curvature of the matter particles by 2/11-times. If the matter were transformed back into pure spacetime curvature, the spacetime curvature should likewise increase. My hypothesis could therefore be shown false if black holes do not exhibit approximately 11/2-times more spacetime curvature than the original clump of matter from which it formed.
Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, having dozens of orbiting stars, might be used to falsify my hypothesis. If the orbits of nearby stars do not change after the black hole swallows a large object, indicating an increase in spacetime curvature 11/2-times larger than could be attributable to the original object that was swallowed, then my hypothesis could be false.
