An Optical Reinterpretation of Gravity: Spatial Curvature as a Manifestation of Light Energy Density Gradients

This work presents a novel reinterpretation of gravity within the Light Universe (Cosmic Wave) framework. In standard physics, gravity is described as the curvature of spacetime induced by mass and energy. Here, space itself is considered an attribute of light, and local imbalances in light energy density are proposed to manifest as spatial curvature. The study explores how mass formation and gravitational effects can be understood as consequences of variations in light energy, and examines the role of photon energy loss due to cosmic expansion in generating local spatial distortions. This perspective offers a unified conceptual model linking light, space, mass, and gravity, providing new insights into the physical origin of gravitational phenomena.
