Dark Energy as Gravitational Leakage via Black Hole--Wormhole Networks: A Testable Multiversal Hypothesis

Authors: Bataan E Sheep
Comments: 2 Pages.

We propose a cosmological hypothesis where black holes serve as wormhole-like portals connecting our universe to others in a multiverse. Gravitational leakage through these conduits creates an effective repulsive pressure, manifesting as dark energy. We derive a Yukawa-type kernel for gravitational leakage, incorporate it into the Friedmann equation, and simulate its anisotropic effects. The model predicts a dipole-like perturbation in the Hubble flow, consistent with Pantheon+ and Planck isotropy bounds. Our framework offers concrete, falsifiable predictions that can be tested using cross-correlations of black hole tracers with supernovae, weak lensing, and CMB data.

Reinterpreting Galactic Rotation Curves

Authors: John Holmes
Comments: 9 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

This paper presents a novel framework for modeling galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter. By substituting relativistic mass for rest mass in Newton’s gravitational law and redefining radial distance as a time-dilated metric (ct), the model accounts for observed stellar velocities using baryonic matter alone. A numerical simulation of the Milky Way demonstrates close alignment with empirical data, suggesting that relativistic effects—particularly gravitational time dilation and photon frequency shifts—can explain discrepancies traditionally attributed to dark matter. The manuscript offers a reinterpretation of gravitational dynamics that is both mathematically rigorous and observationally grounded. It also challenges the conventional concept of black holes, proposing that extreme time dilation, rather than event horizons, governs the behavior of ultra-dense galactic cores.

Is the Universe a Collection of Accidental Phenomena or is There Something More

Authors: Paul J Caracristi
Comments: 4 Pages.

This essay is a reflection on the unfolding nature of the universe, life, and consciousness. It considers the interplay of the Latent and Patent realms, the spectral quality of time, and the presence of a Will to Be that seems woven into all existence. While science gives us extraordinary clarity within the measurable world, it cannot yet reach into the deeper currents of emergence, transformation, or meaning. What follows is less an argument than a meditation, an attempt to see the universe not as a finished product, but as a process, alive, evolving, and continually becoming.

The Emergence and Dissolution of the Universe

Authors: Paul J. Caracristi
Comments: 4 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: For the last time, please cite listed scientific references)

This essay explores the ontological genesis and dissolution of the manifest universe, "the Patent realm", as an emergence from, and eventual return to, the undifferentiated "Latent realm" of pure potential. Rejecting a purely physicalist account, it proposes that time itself is not a container for events but the first event, the condition by which existence can unfold. The Patent realm originates at the threshold of a white hole, where instantaneous, massless photons first appear, and gains structure as time "deflates," allowing light to endure as matter. Entropy, complexity, and form arise as temporal resistance increases, culminating in a black hole horizon where time approaches stillness and mass dissolves back into potential. This process is not cyclical repetition but a unique act of becoming and un-becoming, grounded in the infinite capacity of the Latent to generate new realms with their own temporal and structural character. The work reframes cosmogenesis as an ontological event rather than a spatial-temporal expansion, inviting a reconsideration of reality as a phase within a deeper, timeless continuum.

Dark Energy from R3⊕I 3 Planck-Patch Geometry

Authors: Ivars Fabriciuss
Comments: 2 Pages.

We model space as R3 coupled to an evanescent adjoint sector I3 across Planck-area "Planckpatches" on a common interface Σ. By the Bekenstein—Hawking area law each patch has capacity 1 nat, and we postulate a per-patch area Apatch = 4LP^2. A local, capacity-limited exchange along Σ conserves the total (normalized) ledger load and equilibrates to an absorbing state where the saturated fraction equals the initial per-patch load, fsat = x. Identifying this homogeneous ledger with vacuum energy gives ΩΛ = fsat. With the one-bit initial condition (x = ln 2), the mechanism yields ΩΛ = ln 2, consistent with Planck 2015 (0.692 ± 0.012) and within ∼ 1.2% of Planck 2018 (0.685 ± 0.007). After equilibration the model predicts dfsat/d ln a = 0 and w = −1. We state assumptions explicitly and emphasize falsifiability; on-shell R3 physics remains unchanged while I3 supports only evanescent modes.

The Emergent Cosmos and the Becoming of Reality

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

This work explores the idea that the fundamental laws of nature, gravity, electromagnetism, quantum behaviour, and conservation principles, are not eternal decrees inscribed before the universe but emergent outcomes of existence itself. Rather than fixed scaffolding, these laws are the survivors of a process akin to natural selection: principles that endure because they permit coherence, persistence, and unfolding, while countless unstable alternatives vanish without a trace.Central to this framework is the concept of the Will to Be, an intrinsic impulse of reality toward persistence and expression. Laws, under this view, are not immutable truths but the accumulated habits of being, shaped by this underlying drive. Time emerges not merely as a background parameter but as the first enabling principle, the canvas upon which persistence and novelty unfold. Entropy, similarly, is reinterpreted as the clearing away of unstable configurations, making space for new emergent possibilities. This perspective resonates with Wheeler’s "law without law" and Smolin’s idea of cosmic natural selection, but extends them by positing the Will to Be as the generative principle that explains why laws exist at all. Cosmology, then, becomes less a search for timeless equations and more a study of a living, evolving system, a universe perpetually selecting what endures.In this emergent cosmos, meaning itself is possible because novelty is real. Humanity is not an observer of a predetermined script but a participant in an unfinished becoming. Our creativity, reflection, and imagination are continuations of the same impulse that shaped the cosmos, making our existence not incidental but integral to the story of reality’s unfolding.

One Quadratic Functional, One Kernel, All Scales

Authors: N. J. Kettlewell
Comments: 3 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

A standard quadratic functional, familiar from Helmholtz screening, Ginzburg—Landautheory, and scalar field actions, is applied without modification to macroscopic motion. Itsextremisation yields a Yukawa kernel that reproduces Newton’s inverse-square law in thenear field, produces flat galactic rotation curves in an intermediate regime, and predicts afinite-range cut-off at large radii. With a single, universal coherence length ℓ = 1/k in thegalactic band, Solar-System deviations are suppressed to O((kr)2) and therefore negligible.The framework is falsifiable: if accelerations do not fall exponentially on galactic scales, itfails.

Resolving the Cosmological Constant Problem via Flux-Limited Vacuum Energy

Authors: Woodrow Scott Beckford
Comments: 19 Pages.

The cosmological constant problem (CCP) presents a severe mismatch between quantum field theory’sprediction of vacuum energy and the observed dark-energy density. We propose a solution based on a causalcoherence cutoff: only fluctuations within a light-speed—limited sphere contribute to the vacuum energy. Thisprinciple yields a universal r−4 scaling, consistent with quantum predictions at small scales and with cosmicacceleration at mesoscopic lengths. Remarkably, derivations from multiple perspectives converge on a coherencescale of order 75 μm, suggesting a genuine physical feature of the vacuum rather than an artifact of calculation.The framework offers a path to resolving the CCP while suggesting testable predictions at the boundary betweenquantum and cosmological regimes.

Entropy Current Theory: A Thermodynamic Extension of General Relativity

Authors: Matthew Warren Payne
Comments: 21 Pages.

I present a mathematically consistent extension of General Relativity that incorporates thermodynamic entropy currents as weak additional gravitational sources. Building systematically on Jacobson’s thermodynamic derivation of Einstein’s equations, I extend the framework to non-equilibrium situations where entropy varies in spacetime, naturally leading to a conserved entropy four-current $J^mu = partial^mu S$. Through detailed calculations in both AdS/CFT holographic duality and loop quantum gravity spin networks, I demonstrate that such entropy currents emerge independently from quantum gravitational effects. While the predicted modifications to gravitational dynamics are extremely small in current observational regimes—typically suppressed by factors of $10^{-20}$ to $10^{-50}$—the theoretical framework provides a foundation for potential future high-precision tests and establishes the mathematical consistency of thermodynamic approaches to quantum gravity. I present comprehensive error analysis and identify the most promising signatures for eventual observation in quantum gravity regimes or early universe cosmology.

Equilibration Cosmology: A Framework for a Unified Theory

Authors: Karl Archinal
Comments: 9 Pages.

Foundational issues in modern cosmology, including the nature of dark energy and the existence of gravitational singularities, suggest the need for a new theoretical framework. This paper introduces Equilibration cosmology, a cosmological framework based on two core postulates: the universe is a closed system whose dynamics are governed by a fundamental disequilibrium between matter and antimatter, and a fourth spatial dimension with inversive geometric properties mediates this duality. The model’s cosmogenesis posits an initial event that established this fundamental matter-antimatter asymmetry. The subsequent evolution of the cosmos is attributed to a repulsive antigravity force, an emergent property of the system’s drive toward equilibrium, which accounts for cosmic expansion without a dark energy component. The attractive force of gravity is described as a secondary effect of this primary repulsion. Within this framework, particle properties such as mass are posited to be direct correlates of a particle’s specific state of disequilibrium. This principle allows for a reinterpretation of the strong and weak nuclear forces as phenomena emergent from the geometry of the proposed 4th dimension. Quantum entanglement is consequently interpreted as a result of non-local connections through this higher-dimensional substrate. The model thus offers a conceptually unified and self-consistent framework. This paper presents the full qualitative model and identifies key testable predictions to motivate the development of a corresponding mathematical formalism.

Extrinsic Gravitation as a Homeostat in a CPT-Symmetric Universe: A Proof of Concept

Authors: Stephen P. Smith
Comments: 11 Pages.

We propose that gravity, as it appears in Einstein’s general relativity, is not entirely intrinsic to a single space-time manifold but instead the emergent trace of extrinsic coupling between two CPT-symmetric manifolds. This extrinsic gravitation acts as a homeostat: a recursive balancing mechanism. Building on Hegel’s conception of sublation, Koestler’s holonic hierarchies, and von Baer’s formative centripetal force, we reinterpret the Einstein-Hilbert action as a boundary-effective theory of a deeper two-manifold interaction. Roy Frieden’s information-theoretic amplitude functions already hint at such duality, where variational principles generate coupled solutions. We propose that the CPT dual structure provides the additional degrees of freedom necessary for a coupling Lagrangian, one that employs ghost contributions such as mirrored Christoffel symbols or logarithmic determinants of paired spacetime metrics. The result is a proof of concept: the hunt for an extrinsic gravity theory is not only feasible but natural, providing a unified framework that explains the appearance of intrinsic general relativity, accommodates quantum nonlocality, and sustains homeostatic balance at both cosmic and quantum scales.

Theory of Curved Space and the Plateau Law: the Role of Noether Current

Authors: Maxim Govorushkin
Comments: 73 Pages. 10.5281/zenodo.17084205 (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references!)

The paper introduces and develops the Theory of Curved Space (TCS) — an ontology where space has four equal coordinates, time t is an absolute parameter of evolution, and the physics of the observable world arises as a projection of 4D dynamics onto a 3D slice. The key axiom of TCS is the conservation of 4D volume (global SL(4,ℝ) symmetry). From it, according to Noether's theorem, follow four fundamental conserved currents: charge, energy, axial (momentum), and homothetic (scale). The central result is the plateau law: in stable geometries (disk, sphere), the corresponding flow integrals become constants, defining asymptotic kinematics from an atom to a galaxy without involving dark matter.The plateau law is formulated in operational form on a 3D slice with measure J3=detu2009Q3 and matching anisotropy Aij:- Sphere (radial transport, isotropy): Ks=R^2u2009J3u2009ρ(R)u2009u∗(R)=const, which with a slow change in J3 restores the Newtonian decay v(R)∝R^−1/2 in the outer regions.- Thin disk (transport in the plane): Ka=Ru2009J3u2009ARRu2009Σ(R)u2009uR(R)=const, and with quasi-constant J3u2009ARR and u∗ gives a flat rotation curve v(R)=const (Mestela's law) — without dark matter.- In sparse halos, the invariant R^2ρ=const implies M(R)∝R and the acceleration threshold a0≈10^−10u2009m/s^2, related in the IPT to the global rotation around the fourth axis.At the level of particles and fields, the IPT gives a single kinematic shell: scalar potentials enter multiplicatively into the rest energy "mask" ��(x,t)=√∏i(1−2Φi/c^2), and all gauge interactions enter through the minimal coupling in the momentum. Quantization of the universal energy-momentum coupling leads to the generalized Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations; the nonrelativistic limit gives the Pauli equation. In electromagnetism, the magnetic field has a projection (kinematic) nature B=(1/c^2)u2009v×E; in non-Abelian fields (weak/strong), the "magnetic" components are dynamic and are not reduced to a projection due to self-action.The gravitational sector is formalized through an effective 3D action that reproduces the Newtonian normalization ΔΦ=4πGρ in a weak field and allows solving applied problems: rotation curves, lensing, black holes (shadow, photosphere, ISCO, Shapiro delay). It is shown that classical observables coincide with standard results, while TIP predicts phase effects (monodromies, echo signals during ringing), available for verification by gravitational-wave and polarimetric measurements.The method is tested on real data without any on-site adjustments: rotation curves and photometry of the SPARC catalog (e.g. NGC 3198, NGC 2403, UGC 2885), dwarf spheroids Draco and Sculptor, ultra-diffuse NGC 1052-DF2 (a consistent invariant in the spherical zone), as well as lensing systems of different scales (SDSS J2141, ESO 325-G004, Abell 1689) — the calculation of deflection angles is performed from Φ_TCS(r) at fixed inputs (MGE, M/L, fgas, angular distances), agreeing with observations within statistical errors. The cosmological section formulates background equations and diagnoses compatibility with the position of the first acoustic peak of the CMB without introducing dark matter as a component.

Thermodynamic Aspects of Timelike Thin-Shell Collapse in Classical General Relativity

Authors: A. G. Schubert
Comments: 7 Pages.

Thermodynamic ideas in gravitating systems—linking geometry, horizon area/entropy, and the negative heat capacity of self-gravitating matter—are increasingly used to reason about black-hole physics and late-time dynamics. Motivated by this perspective, this study develops a conservative, fully classical treatment of late-time spherical collapse that relies only on standard GR tools while admitting a clear thermodynamic reading. A timelike thin shell joins a regular constant-curvature (de Sitter) interior to a Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild–de Sitter (SdS) exterior. After a brief formation stage, a post-transient zero-inflow regime is analyzed in which the exterior mass parameter (the ADM mass for Λ+=0) is time-independent. Casting the Israel junction condition into an effective potential, the analysis yields: (i) a closed-form sufficient threshold for outward shell evolution that balances the interior de Sitter scale against exterior attraction; (ii) bounded scalar curvature invariants throughout the spacetime region covered by the construction; and (iii) a simple, falsifiable, mass-scaled redshift bound for near-shell quasi-trapped modes. No thermodynamic postulates enter the derivations; nonetheless, the late-time kinematics are consistent with standard coarse-graining intuitions (e.g., area scaling) and with the negative heat capacity of self-gravitating systems. Within the classical domain considered here, the premises that typically drive singularity formation and information-loss narratives are not realized, providing a classically consistent scenario for late-time collapse.
