Marabūt's Theory of Gravity: Empirical Validation of the Electron Flow Model

Changes in Version 2: This major revision fundamentally updates the statistical confrontation of the Electron Flow Model (EFM). Version 2 transitions from a constrained baryonic anchor to a fully unconstrained Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) integration, Executing 25,000 Steps over a filtered 1,371-supernova dataset (z > 0.023). Allowing the fluid parameters to converge naturally yields H0 = 73.05 km/s/Mpc, Ωm = 0.325, and a vacuum impedance (τvac = 0.154) that is statistically consistent with zero. Crucially, this rigorous re-evaluation reveals a strict observational degeneracy at late-universe redshifts, confirming that supernova data alone cannot distinguish between the EFM's fluid thermodynamics and the legacy geometric expansion of ΛCDM without incorporating early-universe Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) metrics. This manuscript presents a rigorous empirical validation of the Electron Flow Model (EFM) against the Pantheon+ Type Ia Supernova Catalog. By directly confronting the EFM’s Viscous Propagation Integral with the filtered set of 1,371 distance moduli, we demonstrate that the model natively reproduces observed luminosity-distance curves. Using formal Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods across a 25,000-step convergence, this empirical confrontation establishes the robust predictive capabilities of the EFM, demonstrating that astrophysical phenomena can be natively reproduced without dependence on unverified theoretical placeholders. By allowing the fluid parameters to converge naturally via an unconstrained MCMC integration, the model aligns with observations without requiring a cosmological constant or dark energy. The best-fit parameters are H0 = 73.05 km/s/Mpc, Ωm = 0.325, and τvac = 0.154. The analysis confirms that standard supernova catalogs cannot isolate the purely baryonic matter fraction without external high-redshift constraints, presenting a candid fluid-dynamic baseline for future CMB validation. The Unified Fluid Cosmos Framework: This paper serves as Manuscript 16 Version 2 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 Albert Einstein's General Relativity and standard Quantum Mechanics. The EFM shatters classical circularity with a single, undeniable foundational premise: Gravity is Pressure, not curvature, and not an intrinsic mass property.
