Gravity as Acoustic Radiation Pressure: A Phenomenological Model and Testable Predictions

This preprint proposes a phenomenological model in which gravitational attraction emerges as an effective interaction consistent with acoustic radiation pressure between oscillating structures in an inviscid effective medium (“superfluid vacuum” in the sense used in analogue-gravity and condensed-matter approaches). Building on analogue-gravity work (e.g., Unruh, Visser, Barceló) and superfluid-vacuum ideas associated with Volovik, the paper models matter as long-lived, self-sustaining oscillatory excitations (oscillons). Under stated assumptions, the interaction between in-phase oscillators yields an effective secondary Bjerknes-type force, and inverse-square scaling follows from spherical wave propagation…
