OCEAN Project: Hydrodynamic Revision of Gravitational Wave Theory and the Nature of Solitons LaTeX!
Abstract
This paper proposes a hydrodynamic revision of gravitational wave (GW) theory based on the Fermionic Universe Hypothesis (FUH), shifting the description of compact objects from geometric singularities to physical ψ-solitons. We demonstrate that the existence of a viscous boundary (Vhorizon) leads to distinctive ”viscous echoes” and frequency-shifted overtones during the ringdown phase, providing a direct observational test for the soliton nature of massive objects. By deriving a frequency-dependent absorption coefficient α ∼ f^2, we provide a physical mechanism for the highfrequency cutoff observed in LIGO/Virgo data through energy dissipation into the ψ-condensate. These results suggest that the vacuum acts as a viscous medium, transitioning GW astronomy into the realm of quantum hydrodynamics
