Vortex Universe: The Swirling Hypothesis from Electric Charge to Gravity: The Spiral Universe

The vortex hypothesis is a novel physical framework aimed at unifying charge and gravity, rooted in a simple physical image: the periodic motion of particles and celestial bodies—including spin, translation (linear or circular motion), and spiral motion—induces vortices in a pervasive cosmic medium (dark matter). These vortices, as physical entities, can explain a unified law governing phenomena from microscopic charge interactions to macroscopic gravitational effects through their chirality (left- or right-handed) and dynamic evolution. Unlike traditional theories that rely on abstract mathematics or intrinsic properties, the vortex hypothesis prioritizes physics over mathematics, advocating for a unified, scale-bridging theory driven by intuitive three-dimensional vortex phenomena. The core mechanism of the vortex hypothesis can be summarized as follows: any object with periodic motion (e.g., electron spin or planetary orbit) excites three-dimensional vortices in the surrounding dark matter medium, akin to vortex rings generated by a rotating propeller in water. These vortices possess distinct physical properties, including core radius, vorticity strength, and chirality. Chirality is a key feature of the vortex hypothesis: the synergy or conflict between left- and right-handed vortices determines the attractive or repulsive nature of forces. For instance, the vortices induced by the spin of an electron (left-handed) and a proton (right-handed) produce attraction due to opposite chirality, forming the Coulomb force; vortices with the same chirality (e.g., two electrons) result in repulsion due to conflict. Similarly, on macroscopic scales, large-scale vortices induced by the spin and orbit of planets or stars produce gravitational effects through synergistic interactions. The unifying power of the vortex hypothesis lies in its applicability across scales. On microscopic scales, vortex radii are approximately 10^-15 m, explaining Coulomb interactions of charges; on macroscopic scales, vortex radii range from 10^6 to 10^11 m, accounting for gravity. This scale-bridging is achieved through the mathematical relationship (R = r^{1/4} , with forces following F = 1/r^2 , consistent with classical laws of charge and gravity. The dark matter medium, assumed to have a density of approximately 10^-27 kg/m^3 and superfluid properties, serves as the propagation medium, supporting rapid vortex formation and long-range transmission. The philosophical foundation of the vortex hypothesis is physics over mathematics. While traditional physics often describes phenomena using mathematical constructs, the vortex hypothesis returns to tangible physical images—three-dimensional vortices, akin to vortex rings in fluid dynamics. This phenomenon-driven approach is not only intuitive but also explains complex physical processes through analogies . For example, the attraction between an electron and a proton can be likened to two counter-rotating propellers in water generating vortex rings that draw closer; planetary gravity resembles the synergistic attraction of large-scale vortices in the cosmic medium. Such analogies permeate this book, aiming to provide a unified physical image for phenomena from microscopic to macroscopic scales. The vortex hypothesis emerges as a response to challenges in existing theories. The Standard Model treats charge as an intrinsic property, lacking a physical explanation for the existence of positive and negative charges; General Relativity describes gravity geometrically, struggling to reconcile with quantum theory. The vortex hypothesis, through its three-dimensional vortex mechanism, seeks to provide a unified physical basis for the nature of charge and gravity, while also explaining observational phenomena such as galaxy rotation curves and gravitational lensing via the dark matter medium.
