Abstract

The current Standard Model of Cosmology, while remarkably successful, faces persistent challenges, including the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and the fundamental incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This paper, co-developed by the authors, proposes a conceptual framework that attempts to bridge these gaps by positing a fundamental, interconnected "Cosmic Grid" of spacetime, intrinsically linked with the dynamic flow of dark matter. It hypothesizes that gravity, as observed at macroscopic scales, is not merely a consequence of mass-energy curving spacetime, but rather an emergent phenomenon arising from the flow-induced deformation of this Cosmic Grid by dark matter. This model draws inspiration from classical analogies of fluid dynamics and modern theories of emergent spacetime, offering a novel perspective on the universe's foundational mechanics and potentially providing a unified understanding of cosmic phenomena from the quantum to the cosmological scale.
