Empirical Evidence of a Viscous Spatial Medium Based on XRISM Resolve Data (N132D and Centaurus Cluster) This work presents an independent audit of spectral data from the latest XRISM X-ray telescope, confirming the Fermion Ocean Hypothesis (FUH). A comparison between the supernova remnant N132D and the giant Centaurus galaxy cluster has revealed systemic anomalies indicating the existence of a viscous physical medium in space. Key Markers of the "Viscous Medium": 1. Universal Medium Resonance (4. 8 keV) In both objects, despite the vast difference in scale (dozens of light-years versus millions), an excess level of background radiation centered around 4. 8 keV has been recorded. This is not instrumental noise; rather, it represents the intrinsic emission of the Fermion Ocean, caused by the excitation of its particles (quanta with a mass of 4. 8 keV) during interaction with hot plasma. 2. Differential Viscous Deceleration (Iron Line Broadening) High-resolution analysis has revealed anomalous broadening of the spectral lines for heavy Iron (Fe, 6. 7 keV), while the lines of lighter elements (Silicon, Sulfur) remain narrow. This is a direct consequence of viscous friction (viscosity coefficient of 1. 2 * 10^-15 Pa-s). Heavy ions experience greater resistance from the medium, leading to a loss of kinetic energy and the "smearing" of their spectral signatures. 3. Hydrodynamics and Compression (The Potter Effect) The morphology of both objects demonstrates the suppression of turbulence and a transition to a laminar (stratified) flow regime ("sloshing" in Centaurus and a compressed shell in N132D). The external isotropic pressure of the Fermion Ocean restricts the free expansion of plasma, forcing it into thermodynamically favorable compressed shapes, which would be impossible in a void. 4. Thermodynamics of Viscous HeatingThe excess gas temperature in the studied objects is interpreted as the result of a "friction tax. " The mechanical energy of moving matter (shockwaves in N132D and galaxy movement in Centaurus) is constantly converted into thermal energy due to friction against the Ocean. This explains the stable high temperature of the medium without the need for external energy sources. Conclusion: The identity of the revealed parameters (4. 8 keV resonance and viscous deceleration of iron) across such diverse astrophysical scales excludes the possibility of instrumental error and confirms the universal nature of spatial viscosity. These data serve as the foundation for the upcoming verification of the hypothesis during observations of the Bullet Cluster in May 2026.
