Abstract

Why are gravitational wells from 3.5 to 5 billion years ago shallower than General Relativity predicts? Recent analyses of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) have revealed a profound 3-sigma discrepancy in the evolution of the Weyl Potential. Traditional kinematic models struggle to account for this anomaly without invoking shifting dark energy paradigms or reconsidering the validity of General Relativity on large scales. This Brief Communication resolves the anomaly without the need for new invisible forces. We propose that these findings are a direct macroscopic signature of the Electron Flow Model (EFM). By redefining gravity as Hydrodynamic Fluid Pressure generated by active vacuum flux consumption, we demonstrate that: The "deformation of spacetime" is actually angular fluid refraction and viscous propagation. Shifting baseline vacuum flux densities in an expanding cosmos naturally yield the shallower relative pressure gradients observed in recent cosmic history. Ultimately, this fluid-dynamic scaling elegantly resolves the "Great Disconnect" between cosmic-scale anomalies and localized solar-system precision. The Unified Fluid Cosmos Framework: For over three centuries, dating back to Sir Isaac Newton, astrophysics has treated gravity as a static, geometric given. While Albert Einstein's General Relativity excels at calculating orbital mechanics, effectively teaching us how to drive the car, it relies on an epistemological circularity, retroactively assigning invisible mass to force its equations to fit observations. It offers no physical insight into how the engine actually works.This paper serves as Manuscript 2 Version 4 in the comprehensive series, Marabūt's Theory of Gravity. It presents the Electron Flow Model (EFM), a generative, fluid-dynamic framework designed to fundamentally replace General Relativity. The EFM shatters classical circularity with a single, undeniable foundational premise: Gravity is Pressure, not curvature, and not an intrinsic mass property.
