The Role of Topology in the Structure of Spacetime: A New Perspective on Gravitational Forces and Matter Distribution
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents a novel approach to understanding spacetime and gravitational forces, positing that the fundamental structure of the universe is shaped by a pre-existing topology in the fabric of spacetime. The article draws a comparison to natural structures, such as the web of a spider, suggesting that the fabric of spacetime is not merely deformed by the presence of mass and energy, but that celestial bodies “fit” into existing topological deformations. The model proposed here hypothesizes that the mass of an object does not solely deform spacetime; instead, celestial bodies occupy regions of spacetime that have already been altered by an underlying topological framework, similar to how objects interact with a pre-deformed web. This perspective offers a new way of conceptualizing gravitational forces and challenges conventional views of spacetime as a passive, deformable entity.
