Gravity from Galactic Tension: Local Mechanics and Nonlocal Effects

Authors: Joseph Shaffer
Comments: 10 Pages.

This paper proposes a conceptual framework in which both the gravitational constant G and the phenomenon commonly referred to as dark energy arise from a single physical mechanism: a frozen in tension within a medium formed during an early universe phase transition. The model assumes the existence of a continuous, elastic like substrate created during the Big Bang. As the universe expanded, this medium experienced strain, producing a uniform tension that remained fixed once the expansion rate slowed. The gravitational constant emerges from the stiffness and strain of this medium. The conceptual framework relies on a two domain model, consisting of a local mechanical domain and a nonlocal entanglement domain. The framework naturally yields flat galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter halos.

Breaking the Monolith a Diagnostic Framework for Early Supermassive Black Hole Origins

Authors: Andrei Eleodor Sirbu
Comments: 29 Pages.

The discovery of billion-solar-mass black holes within the first 500—800 million years of the universe has challenged monolithic formation models. Recent JWST and ALMA observations (2024—2026) paint a picture of a chaotic, gas-rich early universe where extreme accretion and feedback were commonplace. We argue that the field must shift from seeking a single "solution" to developing a diagnostic framework capable of distinguishing between multiple, co-existing formation pathways. We propose three broad channels : Chaotic Cold-Accretion Avalanches, Monolithic Direct Collapse, and Rapid Hierarchical Mergers. Each leaving distinct imprints on the kinematics, metallicity, and host environment of high-redshift quasars. We outline the key observational tests enabled by JWST, ALMA, and next generation gravitational-wave observatories to quantify the contribution of each pathway to the emerging population of early supermassive black holes.

The Topological Nature of Universal Gravitation: A Rigorous Proof from the Spiral-Sphere Phase Transition to as a Topological Constant

Authors: Xiangqian Zhang, Chao Greene, Mingming zhao, Guozi Mo

Modern physics faces a profound theoretical chasm when bridging microscopic quantum scales and macroscopic cosmological scales, most notably manifested in the hierarchy problem and the dark matter hypothesis. Based on thefirst principles of spatial fluid dynamics, this paper proposes a scale-dependent spacetime topological phase transition model. The model postulates that the fundamental geometric topology of spacetime is a cylindrical spiral manifold (S^1 x R). When the particle number reaches the stellar mass scale (N ~ 10^57 ), the rotational degrees of freedom of microscopic spirals cancel out due to statistical decoherence (governed by the central limit theorem). Consequently, the spatial topology collapses into a purely divergent, isotropic Gaussian sphere (S^2), which manifests macroscopically as classical Newtonian gravity. Starting from the first-principle axiomomega*r = c, this paper rigorously derives the pure geometric expression for the universal gravitational constant G = C^3r^2_0/h-bar, proving that G is intrinsically a topological constant determined by the critical radius of the topological phase transition. Furthermore, at galactic and cosmic web scales (N ~ 10^68 - 10^80), stars act as new fundamental units, and their collective spin generates macroscopicspacetime torsion within the framework of Einstein-Cartan theory. This torsion drives spontaneous symmetry breaking, thereby reconstructing a macroscopic cylindrical spiral structure. Supported by numerical integration and recent astronomical observations (e.g., cosmic filament spin, CMB anomalies), this model provides a computable and falsifiable pure geometric pathway toward unifying quantummechanics, general relativity, and dark-matter-free cosmology.

Gravitational Lensing Based on Entangled Duality

Authors: Joseph Shaffer
Comments: 6 Pages.

A lensing-like framework is described, based on Entangled Duality, where galaxies interact through two domains: either relativistic, spacetime S, or entangled, E. The core idea is that every physical system participates in both domains. Observations — such as galactic rotation curves and lensing like mass effects — are the combined outcome of S + E, not S alone. This dual domain model produces effects that mimic gravitational lensing and dark matter like behavior without invoking dark matter.

Absolute Fabric: a Resolution of Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the Hubble Tension Without New Particles

Authors: Waruyk Carvalho
Comments: 20 Pages.

We propose that the gravitational constant G is not universal but a local property of the Absolute Fabric—a discrete lattice of Planck-scale pixels—modified by mass concentrations. Postulating that the maximum force transmissible by this Fabric (the Planck Force) is exactly 10^44 N, we derive the unperturbed gravitational constant as G_0 = c^4/10^44 N = 8.08 × 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}. The locally measured value (G_local = 6.67 × 10^{-11}) is 21.1% smaller due to tensioning of the Absolute Fabric by the Sun's mass. A screening mechanism, analogous to the chameleon field, ensures this variation is negligible within the planetary system, preserving precision tests like Mercury's perihelion precession. This single mechanism resolves three major cosmological puzzles: (1) Dark Matter is explained by G → G_0 in galactic outskirts, producing flat rotation curves; (2) The Hubble Tension is predicted as H_0^local/H_0^CMB = √(G_0/G_local) = 1.101, matching observations within 1%; (3) Dark Energy is an artifact of using G_local in cosmological equations. Testable predictions include a G-gradient beyond the heliopause and environmental dependence in pulsar timing.

V3 Cosmic Trace Project: Reproducible Cross-Tracer Analysis of an Attenuated Large-Scale Peculiar-Velocity Dipole Using Pantheon+, 6dFGSv, and Cosmicflows-4

Authors: Soo-Hyun Kim
Comments: 18 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references)

This study was designed to test whether the large-scale dipole velocity field predicted by the V3 Space-Fluid Dynamics hypothesis can be detected in real observational data. V3 interprets spacetime as a fluid-like medium and proposes that massive structures and voids may leave directionally coherent signatures in the local velocity and expansion fields. In this paper, however, V3 is not treated as a proven conclusion, but as the motivating theoretical frame and interpretive context for the experiment.The analysis was carried out in two stages. First, the Pantheon+ supernova dataset was used to extract a reference dipole axis and an exponential attenuation scale from directional distance-modulus residuals. These quantities were then treated as pre-registered fixed inputs and projected onto two independent galaxy peculiar-velocity catalogues, 6dFGSv and Cosmicflows-4 (CF4), for validation.The Pantheon+ analysis yields a reference axis near (l,b)=(270°,30°) in Galactic coordinates and an attenuation scale zc ≈ 0.056, corresponding to rc ≈ 240 Mpc. Applying the same axis and attenuation scale to CF4 gives a strong dipole component with V0 ≈ 209.34 km s-1, Δχ2 ≈ 294.30, and cosψ ≈ 0.9466. By contrast, 6dFGSv shows only weak support for the same structure, with Δχ2 ≈ 5.9. Distance tomography, sky-shuffle permutation tests, random-axis ensembles, and bootstrap folded-angle analysis all support the conclusion that the CF4 signal is unlikely to arise from a narrow distance shell or from sky geometry alone.Because the present analysis does not include the full velocity covariance matrix, the reported Δχ2 values should not be interpreted as formal likelihood-ratio significances or Gaussian-equivalent detection sigmas. The most conservative conclusion is that Pantheon+ and CF4 provide strong empirical evidence for a common large-scale anisotropic flow axis. V3 is presented as one possible theoretical framework for interpreting this pattern, while comparison with standard ΛCDM large-scale structure remains necessary.

Theory of Spatial Infrastructure (TIE): Galaxy Rotation Curves from First Principles with Zero Free Parameters

Authors: Ruben A. L. Curto
Comments: 6 Pages.

We present a gravitational equation derived from the Theory of Spatial Infrastructure (TIE) that predicts galaxy rotation curves using only observable baryonic mass with zero free parameters. The equation a_TIE = sqrt(a_N*(a_N + a0)), where a0 = c*H0/2pi is derived from fundamental constants, produces analytically flat rotation curves in the weak field limit: v = (G*M*a0)^(1/4). Applied to 6 SPARC galaxies spanning dwarfs to giant spirals, TIE outperforms pure baryonic Newton by an average factor of 7.3x in chi-squared.
