Abstract

When light meets sound, a new dimension of analysis unfolds. This work explores black hole observations through the lens of signal theory and acoustic wave mechanics, revealing a resonant bridge between electromagnetic and mechanical waves. Using Event Horizon Telescope EHT data, black hole imagery is treated as a three-dimensional digital signal, where the analytic Hilbert envelope and normalized Discrete Fourier Transform DFT expose hidden structures.

The gravitational shadow is interpreted not as silence, but as a measurable energy dip—an imprint of absorption rather than absence. Euler’s identity is employed to map signal phase and symmetry into polar and complex domains, providing an intuitive mathematical pathway toward the event horizon.

By applying foundational acoustic concepts such as resonance, interference, and entropy, the field surrounding the black hole is reinterpreted as a complex communication signal. This interdisciplinary framework unifies digital signal processing, electromagnetic theory, and acoustics into a novel methodology for astronomical analysis. Notably, when a full noise assessment is conducted, EHT images exhibit a significant enhancement in resolution and information transmission
