能量汇集理论:一种摒弃时空弯曲的标量-矢量引力动力学框架

【中文摘要】本文提出一种关于引力机制的替代理论框架——能量汇集理论(ECT)。该理论遵循“能量是本质,几何是表象”的物理本体论,主张引力并非四维时空弯曲的几何效应,而是能量向高密度区域天然汇集的本体属性。该框架基于一个标量场(汇集场 Φ)和一个受约束的矢量场(取向场 n^μ)构建。在弱场极限下,ECT完全退化为牛顿引力,并在光偏折和引力红移的一阶效应上与广义相对论(GR)严格一致。然而,通过引入场能量的非线性自耦合(等效参数 λ=1/2),ECT在强场二阶偏折(预言系数 π/8)和引力红移二阶修正(预言系数 1/4)上给出了区别于广义相对论的、可被证伪的定量预言。此外,该理论通过取向场的自发对称性破缺与单位约束机制,自然产生纯张量引力波且完美匹配四极辐射功率,彻底避免了标量极化危机,全程无需引入时空度规。ECT为引力提供了一个更直观、更底层的能量动力学图景。 【英文摘要 / Abstract】This paper proposes an alternative theoretical framework for the mechanism of gravity: the Energy Convergence Theory (ECT). Following the physical ontology that "energy is the essence, and geometry is the appearance," ECT asserts that gravity is not a geometric effect of four-dimensional spacetime curvature, but an intrinsic property of energy naturally converging toward high-density regions. The framework is constructed based on a scalar field (Convergence Field Φ) and a constrained vector field (Orientation Field n^μ). In the weak-field limit, ECT strictly reduces to Newtonian gravity and is perfectly consistent with General Relativity (GR) in the first-order effects of light deflection and gravitational redshift. However, by introducing a non-linear self-coupling of the field energy (equivalent parameter λ=1/2), ECT provides falsifiable quantitative predictions that differ from GR in the second-order strong-field light deflection (prediction coefficient π/8) and second-order gravitational redshift correction (prediction coefficient 1/4). Furthermore, through the spontaneous symmetry breaking and unit constraint mechanism of the orientation field, the theory naturally produces pure tensor gravitational waves and perfectly matches the quadrupole radiation power, completely avoiding the scalar polarization crisis without introducing any spacetime metric. ECT provides a more intuitive and fundamental energy dynamics picture for gravity.
