Key Points

To propose a mechanical model for gravitational effects that replaces the concept of spacetime curvature.
Introduced the Webb Metric and Push-Pull Metric for explaining gravitational phenomena.
Validated the model through empirical examples including celestial bodies and interstellar objects.
Demonstrated that gravitational effects can emerge from kinetic pressure gradients between Iron-Nickel anchors.
Showed that without spherical density anchors, spacetime does not naturally accumulate matter.

Abstract

General Relativity describes gravitational phenomena through spacetime curvature (Gµν). This paper proposes a mechanical replacement: gravitational effects emerge from kinetic pressure gradients between high-density Iron-Nickel anchors, not geometric deformation of a spacetime manifold. The Push-Pull Metric defines orbital stability as equilibrium between inward Dynamic Grip (Fe-core attraction) and outward Centrifugal Push (envelope pressure). Empirical validation includes: SDSS J0104+15 demonstrating hardware-dependent ignition; Jupiter as a stalled friction engine with Juno-confirmed fuzzy core; and interstellar objects ’Oumuamua/IM1 as asymmetrical shrapnel proving that without spherical density anchors, “spacetime” does not naturally accumulate matter. The framework concludes: there is no curvature—only the transmission of force between dense anchors.
