Theory of Base Field Pressure: Foundational Framework and Newtonian Limit (v16)

Description

This is the flagship paper of the Theory of Base Field Pressure (BFP), a unified physical framework in which a single scalar field—the field pressure P(x)P(x)—serves as the fundamental entity for describing gravitation, the speed of light, and cosmic evolution.

What is BFP?

BFP replaces dark matter and dark energy with two physical mechanisms derived from a minimal action principle:

  1. Field pressure accumulation effect: Explains galaxy rotation curves (SPARC: 171/175 galaxies, 97.7% success rate) without dark matter.

  2. Light-speed evolution: The speed of light varies with cosmic epoch as c(z)=c0(1+z)−βc(z)=c0(1+z)β, with β=0.7360±0.0294β=0.7360±0.0294 determined from the Pantheon+ compilation of 1701 Type Ia supernovae (χred2=0.478χred2=0.478).

Key results in v16:

Classical tests of gravity:

BFP satisfies gravitational lensing (1.75'' solar deflection), GPS time dilation, and binary pulsar orbital decay within its unified framework.

Falsifiable predictions:

Isolated sub-millisecond pulsars, Sandage–Loeb redshift drift, specific ⁴He abundance deviation, and field pressure domain tests for deep-space missions.

What's new in v16:

  1. Added the dual-source redshift mechanism (Sec. 2.5), rigorously deriving f=1+β=1.7360f=1+β=1.7360

  2. Updated CMB validation from "projected" to "passed": rs≈145.2rs145.2 Mpc (1.25% agreement with Planck)

  3. Added early supermassive black holes (CANUCS-LRD-z8.6, z=8.6z=8.6∼108M⊙108M) to the validation matrix

  4. Simplified gravitational wave tests using permanently archived O1/O2 data

  5. Updated references to companion papers on CMB sound horizon, early black holes, and early-Universe inflation alternative
