Vacuum Energy with Natural Bounds: a Spectral Model Without Fine-Tuning

Authors: André J. H. Kamminga
Comments: 23 Pages.

This paper presents a physically motivated spectral model for vacuum energy density, introducing natural bounds based on known physical phenomena: QCD confinement and thermal suppression. Instead of relying on arbitrary cutoffs or fine-tuning, the model uses a symmetric double exponential suppression function that restricts contributions from both very short and very long wavelengths. The resulting integral yields a vacuum energy density of the same order as observed, suggesting a plausible explanation for the small but nonzero cosmological constant. Supporting appendices provide mathematical derivations, physical interpretations, and the entropic context of the model. The approach aligns with ideas from thermodynamic and emergent gravity theories, including recent work by Verlinde.

Atomic Heat Saturation of the Sun's Corona: A Geometric Explanation for the Coronal Temperature

Authors: Paul Zaffuto
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references)

This paper introduces a novel geometric model to explain the solar corona’s anomalously high temperature. Rather than invoking plasma reconnection or wave heating, the model proposes that atoms in the solar atmosphere experience radiative saturation due to limited photon escape angles and increased directional exposure to the solar surface. When the Sun occupies more than 50% of the visible sky from an atom’s perspective, photon escape is suppressed, leading to temperature buildup. Observational data on coronal temperature profiles and angular view geometry strongly support this hypothesis. This model provides a mechanistic, scalable explanation of the coronal heating problem grounded in atomic-scale exposure and field-of-view constraints.

Revisiting Titius-Bode: A New Mathematical Framework for Planetary Architecture

Authors: Nicolas Defer
Comments: 109 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please refrain from frequent replacement and/or withdrawal) )

This paper presents a revised and physics-grounded interpretation of the classical Titius-Bode Law, introducing a unified model—the TBB-JML-JOSL framework (Titius-Bode-Birkeland, Jupiter Mass Limit, Jupiter Orbital Speed Limit)—that integrates harmonic orbital structuring, plasma physics and mass/velocity constraints. The model is built upon principles from plasma cosmology, particularly the influence of Birkeland currents and the interaction between Lorentz forces and gravitation. Orbital distances are modeled as harmonics within a plasma structure, with the Jupiter Mass Limit (JML) and Jupiter Orbital Speed Limit (JOSL) providing constraints for maximum stable planetary mass and velocity at given distances. These layers transform the classical Titius-Bode rule from an empirical curiosity into a physics-based predictive system. A new theoretical framework—the Birkeland Orbital Spacing Law (BOS)—is proposed to encapsulate the observed relationship between current density and orbital placement. This offers novel insight into the electromagnetic structuring of planetary systems and supports key tenets of the Electric Universe hypothesis.

TESS: A Unified Quantum Framework for Gravity, Structure, and Cosmology

Authors: Anas Belkacem
Comments: 40 Pages.

The Theoretical Extended Stellar System (TESS) is a novel fundamental theory proposing that gravitational phenomena, along with cosmological puzzles such as "dark matter" and "dark energy," emerge from a universal Quantum Field Theory (QFT)-based internal structure of celestial bodies. TESS posits that all major stellar objects within a given galactic environment share a common tripartite radial architecture: an Antimatter Core, a confining Neutron Layer, and a Matter Shell, with specific radial proportions (e.g., a 54.6%antimatter core radius for Milky Way objects). Local gravity (e.g., solar system dynam-ics) is reproduced with high precision as an emergent consequence of the internal TESSQFT ensuring the object’s effective gravitational mass (Meff) equals its observed inertial mass (Mobs). Phenomena attributed to "dark matter" in different galaxies are primarily explained by variations in the characteristic antimatter core radius fraction (fA,radius) of their constituent stars, which alters their Meff relative to their luminous mass, with the fundamental TESS gravitational law itself exhibiting a MOND-like behavior (characterized by a TESS acceleration scale aT ) that naturally explains flat galactic rotation curves using only baryonic mass. "Dark energy" is hypothesized to arise from the cosmological average of the neutron layer’s QFT-derived energy density. TESS also predicts unique contributions to phenomena like orbital precession. This paper outlines TESS’s core postulates, its conceptual framework, the QFT foundations being developed to derive its mechanisms and constants from first principles, its successes in explaining solar system and galactic observations, and its future potential as a Theory of Everything.

Eternal Sun

Authors: Moninder Singh Modgil, Dnyandeo Patil
Comments: 23 Pages.

This paper proposes a paradigm shift in solar physics, challenging the conventional model that attributes the Sun’s energy to internal nuclear fusion. Drawing on persistent anomalies such as the solar neutrino deficit and the coronal heating problem, we introduce the Eternal Sun Model, where solar energy is not produced but recycled through closed space-time geometries. Using the frameworks of G¨odel and Segaluniverses—each permitting closed timelike curves—we argue that solar radiation may follow causal loops, returning to the Sun after a finite delay. This mechanism naturally sustains coronal temperatures and aligns with entropy-neutral cosmological cycles. The model resonates with ancient cyclic philosophies, such as those of the Brahma Kumaris, while also addressing EPR-type quantum nonlocality within a curved spacetime context. By synthesizing elements of general relativity, quantum mechanics, andmetaphysical cosmology, the Eternal Sun hypothesis offers a unified, thermodynamicallyclosed vision of solar energetics that invites reexamination of both physical and philosophical foundations.

General Theory of Temporality

Authors: Dobri Bozhilov
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed sceintific references)

This paper proposes a fundamental reformulation of gravity and physical forces as manifestations of temporal gradients, rather than spatial curvature or classical fields. It introduces the concept of real time as a variable flow rate that governs all processes in the universe—from quantum events to cosmic dynamics. Gravity is reinterpreted as a pressure between zones of different temporal density, and black holes are reframed as regions of fully halted time. White holes, in this framework, act as sources of renewed reality, potentially explaining observed cosmic acceleration and the emergence of young hydrogen. The model unifies physical forces under a single principle—time—as the ultimate driver of nature, offering a simplified alternative to General Relativity and a new lens for integrating quantum theory.

A First-Principles Model of Gravitational Polarity Flip at Cosmological Distances

Authors: William Chan Kin Peng
Comments: 6 Pages.

We present a novel theoretical framework in which gravity transitions from an attractive to a repulsive force beyond a critical distance. Unlike modifications derived from cosmological observations or phenomenological models such as MOND, this theory is developed from first principles. We hypothesize a flip distance onthe order of ∼ 90 million light-years, where gravitational attraction vanishes andtransitions into a repulsive regime, with the repulsive force increasing with distancebeyond the flip point. This model provides a natural explanation for cosmic acceleration and aligns with observed structure scales in the universe, such as the size of galaxy clusters.

The Churning Cosmos: A Unified Theory of Universal Motion as Vortex Dynamics

Authors: Nitish Sharma
Comments: 6 Pages.

This paper proposes that the sole motion in the universe is a churning, vortex-like rotational dynamics, akin to whirlpools, cyclones, or tornadoes, operating across all scales—from quantum particles to galaxy clusters. I argue that this churning governs the motion of all entities, eliminating the need for gravity as a distinct force. Objects are drawn toward the center of rotating systems due to vortex dynamics, and apparent linear motions are segments of larger circular paths. This process not only forms new celestial objects but also causes collisions and destruction. I extend this model to explain black holes as vortex cores and gravitational lensing as the interaction of proximate vortices. The hypothesis applies to quantum particles, despite observational challenges. Inspired by the ancient story of Samudra Manthan, which I interpret as extraterrestrial insight, this model unifies cosmic dynamics. I review historical perspectives, present supporting studies, and discuss mathematical models, limitations, and the theory’s uniqueness.

Supermassive Primordial Stars as the Origin of Galaxies and Heavy Elements: An Alternative Framework for Galaxy Formation

Authors: Ralph Fischer
Comments: 3 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Author name should be lsited after article title; Please cite and list sceintific references)

The formation of galaxies and the origin and distribution of heavy elements in the early universe are fundamental questions in modern astrophysics. While the standard ΛCDM model assumes galaxy formation through the accretion of baryonic matter into dark matter (DM) halos and nucleosynthesis of heavy elements primarily through core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers, it faces limitations in explaining the widespread presence of r-process elements across vast cosmic scales.This work proposes an alternative scenario: the existence of supermassive primordial stars (SMSs)—with initial masses significantly exceeding the canonical range of Population III stars—as the earliest luminous objects. Their gravitational collapse may have simultaneously triggered the formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), initiated galactic structure development, and synthesized heavy elements via r-processes occurring in relativistic jets.

A Physically Grounded Model for Black Hole Interiors

Authors: Nikita Petaks
Comments: 8 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite and list sceintific references)

This paper presents a new model for black hole interiors, replacing the traditionalsingularity and speculative quantum emission framework with a structured decay-corecomposed of superheavy isotopes. Under extreme time dilation, these isotopes decay slowly,producing measurable emissions that offer an alternative explanation for Hawkingradiation. This model resolves the singularity paradox, preserves information, and remainsfully consistent with general relativity and nuclear physics. The paper further exploresobservational consistency, candidate isotopes, and the future potential of validation throughquantum simulation technologies such as topological qubit processors.

Photon Frequency Drift: Rethinking Redshift Without Expansion

Authors: Pat ODonnell
Comments: 8 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Author name should be after the article title; Please cite listed scientific references)

This paper introduces the Photon Frequency Drift Index (PFDI), a novel model proposing that observed cosmic redshift is not solely the result of metric expansion, but includes a small, cumulative loss of photon frequency over distance. This drift is attributed to a hypothesized effect termed gravitational impedance, representing an entropic interaction between photons and spacetime structure. The model incorporates a linear degradation constant, ��=0.0000529k=0.0000529, calibrated using over 1000 Type Ia supernovae and host galaxy pairs. After applying launch-phase corrections for initial supernova photon energy and the PFDI drift factor, the redshifts of supernovae align tightly with their host galaxies, eliminating the apparent need for time dilation or cosmic acceleration in this data subset. The paper also introduces Pat’s Distance, a natural cosmological scale analogous to the Hubble length, derived from the inverse of the drift constant. This framework preserves key observations such as the blackbody spectrum of the CMB while challenging assumptions about spacetime expansion. Future extensions will explore a theoretical foundation for gravitational impedance and implications for large-scale structure formation.

Holon Theory: Vacuum Coherence Geometry, Field Elasticity, and the Physical Basis of Entanglement and Gravitation

Authors: L. Borsinger
Comments: 15 pages, no figures.

This article proposes Holon Theory, a unified, field-theoretic framework for vacuum structure. Spacetime is modeled as an elastic memory field composed of coherence-locked Holons, where information, gravitation, quantum entanglement, and entropy emerge naturally from structured coherence dynamics. The model extends general relativity and quantum mechanics by embedding memory elasticity and probabilistic field programming directly into the vacuum, providing testable predictions across quantum and gravitational phenomena.
