Gravity is traditionally described either as a force acting at a distance or as a geometric curvature of spacetime. Both descriptions assume that gravity is fundamental.
Quarkbase Cosmology adopts a different position: gravity is not fundamental. It is an emergent phenomenon arising from pressure gradients in a physical vacuum.
Because the vacuum is a real physical medium, it can sustain pressure. This pressure is not uniform when volumetric compactations are present.
Compactations of the vacuum displace surrounding vacuum volume, creating regions of higher and lower pressure. These gradients are the origin of gravitational effects.
Vacuum pressure gradients naturally drive motion from regions of higher pressure toward regions of lower pressure.
This produces an effective attraction between compactations, without invoking an attractive force or spacetime curvature as primitives.
Inertia and gravity share the same origin. Both arise from the interaction between volumetric compactations and the surrounding vacuum.
Resistance to acceleration is the vacuum’s response to changes in compactation motion.
Vacuum pressure gradients do not contradict relativistic observations. Instead, relativistic effects emerge as large-scale descriptions of vacuum dynamics.
Time dilation, length contraction, and gravitational redshift reflect changes in vacuum structure, not abstract spacetime geometry.
The smallest vacuum compactation is the neutrino quarkbase (N=1). Larger compactations (N > 1) generate stronger pressure gradients.
From elementary structures to planets and stars, gravity reflects the same underlying mechanism: vacuum pressure responding to compactation.
If gravity is not fundamental, no mediator particle is required. There is no graviton.
Gravitational interaction is a macroscopic manifestation of vacuum dynamics, not a quantum exchange process.
Vacuum pressure explains galaxy rotation, gravitational lensing, and cosmic structure without invoking dark matter.
For the cosmological framework, see:
Gravity is not a fundamental interaction. It is a consequence of how the physical vacuum responds to volumetric compactation.
Recognizing this eliminates the need for dark matter, dark energy, and quantized gravity.
