A Unified Mechanical Theory of Fundamental Interactions and Dark Matter

Update Preview: The concept of 'negative vacuum' will be replaced in the next release by a more precise mechanical description. The focus is now on radiation-induced energy absorption of quarks (confinement tension) and the resulting collective field curvature (halo effect). This resolves the mathematical contradictions of previous versions.

Description: Andrew’s Ground – A Mechanical Unification of the Cosmos

This paper presents an alternative cosmological model aimed at logically connecting observed physical processes through a consistent mechanical principle. Rather than relying solely on abstract mathematical constructs, this work investigates how hydrostatic laws within a multidimensional medium can provide a foundation for the known reality.

Core Concept: The universe is viewed as a three-dimensional boundary layer (3D bubble) within an infinite, four-dimensional medium of high-energy Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP)—referred to as Andrew’s Ground. This physical embedding serves as a causal framework to resolve known paradoxes of modern physics without the need for hypothetical additional particles.

Key Theses:

• Unification of Interactions: All four fundamental forces are traced back to a common mechanical cause resulting from the interaction between 3D matter and the 4D substrate.

• Dark Matter as "Negative Vacuum": The observed additional gravitational cohesion in galaxies is explained as a fossil mechanical tension caused by a structural separation of layers during the dense early phase of the cosmos.

• Time as a State Variable: Time is defined not as an independent dimension, but as a variable value correlating directly with the "immersion depth" (ambient pressure) of the system within the QGP sea. This provides a physical explanation for the age paradox of early galaxies.

• Quantum Entanglement: The instantaneous correlation of entangled particles is explained by the incompressibility of the 4D medium, which functions as a direct mechanical transmission medium.

Objective: The work provides a framework to trace complex astrophysical observations (such as the Hubble tension or galactic rotation curves) back to the principle of causality and classical hydrostatic principles.
