Stellar Parturition via Gravitational Fission: A Unified Field Theory for Planetary Genesis and High-Energy Transients

Title: Stellar Parturition via Gravitational Fission: A Unified Field Theory for Planetary Genesis and High-Energy Transients DescriptionThis preprint introduces the Stellar Fission & Transmutation (SFT) model, a top-down paradigm shift for planetary cosmogony. While the traditional Nebular Hypothesis faces increasing observational crises—including the "Magnetic Braking Catastrophe," the "Meter-Size Barrier," and the migration paradox of Hot Jupiters—the SFT model proposes that planets are not accreted from disk debris but are generated as "offspring" by stars to maintain Virial equilibrium. Drawing a formal physical analogy between a star and an atomic nucleus, this work treats the star as a self-gravitating quantum liquid drop. We demonstrate that core metallicity saturation and magnetic pressure drive periodic secular instabilities, leading to the equatorial ejection of planetary-mass bodies. Key Highlights of the Paper: Modified Virial Framework: Derivation of stability thresholds (β ≥ 0.27) for magnetized fluids undergoing Poincaré fission. Decay Mode Taxonomy: Identification of Alpha-Mode (envelope shedding/Gas Giants) and Beta-Mode (MHD-driven core ejection/Rocky Worlds). Unified Field Signatures: Postulates that Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), and X-ray Flashes are the electromagnetic signatures of these parturition events. Case Studies: Reinterpretation of 51 Pegasi b as a prototype Alpha-mode ejection and the TRAPPIST-1 system as a resonant chain of pulsed Beta-decays. Observational Protocol: Proposal for a Transient-Transit Correlation Survey (TTCS) to validate the model using CHIME and TESS data. This work advocates for a view of the universe not as an assembly line of dead parts, but as a reproductive, generative system.
