Abstract

This work introduces the concept of near-mass pressure as a curvature-driven mechanism governing the formation of finite spherical singularities within the Deep Liquid Metallic Hydrogen (LMH) realm. In this framework, singularities do not arise from stellar collapse but form through internal gravitational processes occurring within a curvature-saturated medium under extreme pressure conditions. As the LMH medium approaches near-mass pressure, localized instability nodes emerge where stress–energy density and curvature gradients can no longer remain evenly distributed. When these nodes exceed critical thresholds, spacetime undergoes a curvature-driven phase transition in which gravitational convergence becomes self-reinforcing. This process, described as curvature locking, reorganizes distributed curvature into a confined spherical geometry, producing a finite spherical singularity. Over time, energy accumulates within the singularity’s confinement structure. When the stability limit of the curvature field is exceeded, confinement failure occurs and the singularity releases its stored energy as an expanding spherical or helical curvature wavefront. Successive bursts produce interacting wavefronts whose intersections may contribute to the formation of filamentary structures, galaxy clusters, and cosmic voids. Within this model, the cosmic web can be interpreted as the long-term geometric consequence of repeated singularity formation and burst cycles occurring within the Deep LMH medium. After pasting that, scroll down and we’ll fill in the keywords section next.
