What if you could look at gravity as a quantum phenomenon!

Started Apr. 30, 2025

Abstract or project description

The Spatial Particle Theory of Gravity, or S-Theory, proposes a new paradigm for the explanation of gravity as the emergent result of matter interactions with independent objects called S-Particles that make up space itself. Instead of thinking of space as an empty continuum, S-Theory conceives of it as an active, particulate medium influencing and being influenced by mass and energy.

The theory is founded on a postulate set that defines the behavior of S-Particles, the S-Field they generate, and the manner in which energy and matter interact with the field. The theory is centered on the principle that mass displaces S-Particles, altering the density and flow of the S-Field, which in turn governs the motion of objects through spatial gradients—the manner in which fluid pressure gradients can govern motion.

Mathematically, S-Theory derives equations for S-field strength, a speed a particle would have as a consequence of the field, and lastly, a root function to compute motion in the context of space particle density. The approach utilizes the tools of vector calculus, such as gradients and spatial-domain integrals, to build a continuous field theory from discrete foundations.

A significant use includes the influence of the resolution of simplified universe models, such as a 2D universe with S-particle density homogeneity, to demonstrate theoretical behavior under symmetric conditions. A future direction includes the understanding of how energy concentrations power S-Particle movement, enabling the coupling of classical mass-based gravity and potential quantum-spatial descriptions.
