For the Curious Mind
This paper explores a new way of understanding the universe — one that suggests time, gravity, and even the structure of space itself might emerge from a hidden fabric called void energy. Instead of relying on invisible forces like dark matter, the theory looks at how change and entropy could shape what we see in galaxies, black holes, and even the flow of time. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s something deeper beneath the surface of physics — something that connects energy, order, and the vastness of space — this work invites you into that conversation.
For the Physicist
The Void Energy-Regulated Space Framework (VERSF) presents a novel scalar-field cosmology in which gravitational and temporal phenomena arise from entropy-driven modulation of an energetic substrate — void energy. The theory replaces classical curvature-based space-time with an entropy–scalar field coupling, deriving time dilation, galactic rotation profiles, and expansion dynamics without invoking dark matter. A formal φ-field Lagrangian is introduced alongside simulation models, linking entropy gradients to gravitational effects. This submission-ready version includes updated references, polished equations, and aims to provoke fresh exploration at the intersection of thermodynamic gravity and emergent cosmology.
