Description

Abstract (摘要)

We present a falsifiable effective field theory (EFT) of spacetime in which the geometric interpretation of General Relativity emerges as a low-energy limit of a constitutive electromagnetic lattice vacuum. The framework introduces three deformation parameters (alpha, beta, gamma) corresponding to high-energy photon dispersion, gravitational birefringence, and black hole post-merger echo structures, respectively. We propose three observational protocols and combine multi-messenger data into a unified Bayesian constraint system. The model is strictly falsifiable: null detection within specified bounds excludes the constitutive spacetime hypothesis. General Relativity is recovered as the limit where deformation parameters approach zero.

本文建立了一个可证伪的本构时空有效场论(EFT)框架,将广义相对论的几何阐释视为电磁点阵真空在低能下的极限表现。本框架引入了三个关键变形参数(alpha, beta, gamma),分别对应高能光子色散、引力双折射以及黑洞合并后的回声结构。我们提出了三项实验协议,并利用全球多信使数据(包括LIGO、Fermi、Planck等)构建了统一的贝叶斯约束系统。该模型具有严格的可证伪性:若在指定观测阈值内未发现偏离,则本构时空假说将被排除。研究证明,广义相对论仅是参数趋于零时的特例。
