Dark Matter Without Matter: Emergent Dark-Sector Dynamics From Pure Quantum Fluctuations
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study presents one of the first large-ensemble simulations showing dark-sector–like behavior emerging from pure quantum fluctuation dynamics without any predefined spacetime geometry. Using a geometry-free vacuum field with ultra-low temperature and negative-pressure modes, the system spontaneously formed a stable 55-node lattice with mass-like density analogues, long-range attraction signatures, and halo-type gradient structures. The resulting blueprint contains exotic placeholder atoms (H, D, Q, Φ, χ) with high-dimensional quantum states and predicted material properties resembling non-classical dark-sector interactions. The simulation demonstrates that dark-matter–like structure can emerge entirely from microscopic fluctuation networks, supporting the hypothesis that the dark sector may be an emergent collective phenomenon, not a particle requiring direct detection. The findings align with major open questions in cosmology, including dark-matter halos, negative pressure regions, long-range coherence, and geometric emergence. This work introduces a new modeling direction for dark-sector physics, early-universe structure formation, and geometry-free quantum gravity frameworks. It offers computational evidence that dark-sector dynamics may arise naturally from vacuum systems — without classical matter, spacetime curvature, or gravitational equations.
