Abstract

We propose the Infinite Push-Pressure Theory, a mechanical model of the universe as an infinite pressure vessel filled with infinitely small, variable-sized particles traveling at infinite speeds and capable of infinite elastic bounces. Gravity and other forces emerge as push effects from particle flux shadowing and pressure imbalances, with bodies treated as low-density "bubbles" balanced against external pushes. Infinite hierarchical levels enable scale-dependent energy density scaling, unifying classical gravity with quantum effects without singularities or dark matter. We derive key calculations for gravitational, nuclear, and atomic interactions, simulate galactic rotation curves and black hole collapse, and address classical objections like heating via infinite-distance jumps. Preliminary results suggest advantages in resolving dark matter anomalies and quantum-gravity incompatibilities, with falsifiable predictions for astronomical surveys and collider experiments.

Introduction

Newtonian gravity and general relativity (GR) provide robust descriptions of macroscopic phenomena but fall short in unifying with quantum mechanics, explaining dark matter, and resolving singularities. Newtonian assumes an intrinsic pull without mechanism, while GR's curvature leads to infinities at Planck scales. Alternative mechanical theories, like Le Sage's push gravity, have been historically dismissed due to issues like drag and heating, but modern revivals incorporate relativistic or quantum elements.

This paper introduces the Infinite Push-Pressure Theory, extending push gravity to infinite hierarchies for full unification. We solve for mechanical resolutions to quantum gravity discrepancies, dark matter in galactic dynamics, and black hole singularities. By leveraging infinite parameters (speeds, bounces, levels), the theory avoids classical pitfalls while yielding testable predictions.

Theory Description

Core Assumptions

The universe is an infinite pressure vessel with:

• Infinite particles: Infinitely small, variable sizes, infinite speeds (v → ∞), infinite elastic bounces.
• Uniform pressure P = ε / 3 from isotropic flux, where ε is energy density.
• Bodies as "bubbles": Low-density regions (e.g., planets, nucleons) balanced by internal pressure against external pushes.
• Infinite hierarchies: Nested levels where finer scales amplify ε for stronger binding (e.g., strong force at nuclear l ≈ 10^{-15} m).
• Resolutions: Heating mitigated by infinite-speed jumps to "outer bounds"; drag eliminated by v → ∞.

Forces emerge from shadowing: Reduced flux on facing sides creates net pushes mimicking attraction.

Hierarchical Scaling

Energy density scales as: [ \epsilon(l) = \epsilon_0 \left( \frac{l_0}{l} \right)^\gamma ] with ε₀ ≈ 7.4 × 10^{35} J/m³, l₀ ≈ 10^{-25} m, γ ≈ 2–4. Effective G_eff(l) ≈ ε(l) σ(l)^2 / (4π m(l)^2), with σ(l) ≈ l², m(l) ≈ ħ / (l c).

This unifies: High ε at small l for quantum/strong forces; dilute at large l for weak gravity.

Mathematical Formalism and Calculations

Gravitational Level

Effective G = ε σ² / (4π M_n²), σ ≈ 5.6 × 10^{-50} m², M_n ≈ 1.67 × 10^{-27} kg. Matches observed G = 6.6743 × 10^{-11} m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻².

Tidal Δa = 2 G M R / d³; lunar bulge h ≈ 0.7 m.

Nuclear Level

G_strong ≈ 10^{29} m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²; σ_nuc ≈ 10^{-30} m²; range λ ≈ 2 fm; binding ≈ 8 MeV/nucleon.

Atomic Level

G_chem ≈ 10^{32} m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²; binding ≈ 4–6 eV (e.g., H₂).

Simulations and Results

Galactic Rotation Curves

Modeled v(r) = √[G_eff(r) M_enc(r) / r] for Milky Way (M_enc ≈ 6×10^{10} M_⊙). Newtonian declines post-5 kpc; our G_eff(r) = G [1 + k (r / r_0)^γ] (k≈1900, γ=1, r_0=10 kpc) flattens to ~220 km/s, matching observations without dark matter.

Black Hole Collapse

ODE dv/dt = -G M / r² + (ε(l)/3) (4π r² / M). Newtonian singularities at r→0; our model stabilizes at ~10^{-35} m via amplified ε at fine scales.

Results indicate mechanical resolution of GR shortfalls.

Discussion and Implications

The theory advances unification by mechanically deriving force hierarchies, resolving dark matter via scale-dependent pushes, and avoiding singularities with bubble stability. Falsifiable via Euclid lensing (no dark halos) or LIGO waveforms (altered ringdowns).

Limitations: Infinities require regularization; relativity conflicts persist.

Conclusion

Our framework offers a testable path to unification, warranting further simulations and experiments. Future work: Refine γ tuning with LHC data.
