Marabūt's Theory of Gravity: The Illusion of Spacetime

For over a century, Albert Einstein's General Relativity has modeled Gravity as the geometric curvature of a four-dimensional "Spacetime" fabric. However, this mathematical abstraction fails to provide a physical, deterministic mechanism for gravitational phenomena. This paper utilizes the Electron Flow Model (EFM) to replace the geometric abstraction of spacetime with the physical Thermodynamics of the universal vacuum flux. We demonstrate that gravity is the macroscopic flow of fluid into localized sinks, and that "Time Dilation" is not the warping of a Temporal Dimension, but the physical slowing of atomic oscillators due to increased thermodynamic impedance within a dense fluid medium. Key Findings & Methodology: Gravity as Fluid Flow: The EFM rejects the existence of an empty, bendable geometric "fabric". Space is a highly pressurized, supersaturated fluid medium. Gravity is the macroscopic river of vacuum flux rushing inward toward an EVGS (Electron Void Gravitational Sphere) to seek equilibrium. Thermodynamic Time Dilation: As atomic clocks move closer to an EVGS, they encounter a denser, higher-pressure flow of vacuum flux. This increases localized thermodynamic impedance, physically slowing mechanical atomic oscillation due to fluid drag. Empirical Validation via GPS Kinematics: The EFM successfully derives the precise +38.6 μs/day GPS orbital time correction strictly through fluid drag differentials between the Earth's surface and orbital height, proving that abstract temporal dimensions are mathematically unnecessary. Included Resources: Appendix A contains the complete, reproducible Python mathematical engine used to calculate the physical drag variance and GPS time correction. The Unified Fluid Cosmos Framework: This paper serves as Manuscript 13 Version 1 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.
