Quantum Thread Gravity: An Emergent Tension Network Model for Cosmic Expansion and Dark Matter
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel hypothesis of "Thread Gravity," suggesting that gravity is not a fundamental force but an emergent property of a tension network connecting baryonic matter with the cosmological event horizon. By calculating the mass of individual connections (m ≈ 3 * 10^{-107} kg) and the tension required to sustain cosmic expansion, the model derives the Hubble Constant (H_0) as a direct consequence of network stress. Furthermore, the theory offers a geometric explanation for Dark Matter as local network rigidity within galactic structures, eliminating the need for hypothetical particles. The model is consistent with observed Planck scale limits and provides a unified framework for quantum gravity and cosmology.
