Abstract

AbstractSpace is not a void or an abstract continuum. It is an ultra‑dense material medium (“Monolith”) with measurable mechanical properties: density ρmon≈5,1×1096 kg/m3, tension T≈10113 J/m3, and elastic modulus Esp≈1044 Pa.In the Wolf‑EGC model, we apply classical equations of stress‑strain analysis — Hooke’s law, Lame’s equations, and stress balance — to this medium, and derive the fundamental laws of physics as a consequence of its mechanical properties. The 120‑orders‑of‑magnitude problem is naturally resolved: the observed dark energy density ρΛ is not vacuum energy, but an effective tension arising from the ratio of T and Esp: ρΛ=T/Esp.The rest energy E=mc2 is derived as the work required to maintain a local defect (“Node”) in the ultra‑rigid medium. The speed of light c is the speed of longitudinal elastic waves in the Monolith: c=T/ρmon. Gravity is the relaxation of stresses in the medium. The expansion of the Universe is a process of external gravitational capture by the External Singularity.The model yields testable predictions:·dispersion of gravitational waves (Δv/v∼10−15),·mass spectrum of primordial black holes (dN/dM∝M−3,1),·anisotropy of the speed of light (Δc/c∼10−15).Keywordscosmology, dark energy, stress‑strain mechanics of the Universe, Young’s modulus, Planck density, external gravitational capture, Wolf‑EGC, Monolith, node theory, 120‑orders problem.
