Abstract
The Cosmic Unified Theory (CUT) proposes a radical redefinition of spacetime, positing that mass generates space itself. This theory divides space into two components: internal (negative) and external (positive), with gravity arising from their interaction. We present a mathematical framework for this model, derive testable predictions, and address key cosmological phenomena—including singularity avoidance, cosmic expansion, and light bending—without invoking dark energy or spacetime curvature. The theory is anchored in a reinterpretation of the Schwarzschild radius and energy-mass equivalence, offering a novel perspective on gravitational dynamics.
1. Introduction
Classical and relativistic physics treat spacetime as a preexisting arena where mass and energy interact. However, unresolved challenges—such as the nature of singularities, dark energy, and quantum gravity—motivate alternative paradigms. The Cosmic Unified Theory (CUT) proposes that mass creates space, with energy-to-mass conversion (E=mc²) generating two spatial components:
- Internal (Negative) Space (V-) : A volumetric deficit localized within mas
- External (Positive) Space (): The spatial expanse surrounding mass.
Gravity emerges from the equilibrium-seeking interaction between and , propagating at light speed. This paper formalizes CUT, resolves singularities, and reinterprets cosmic expansion as a byproduct of space creation.
2. Mathematical Framework
2.1. Space Creation by Mass
The total space generated by mass is defined by a characteristic radius
where
is the Schwarzschild radius. The total spatial volume is:
This contrasts with the classical Schwarzschild volume
, implying that mass generates 2.828× more space than predicted by general relativity (GR).
2.2. Gravitational Interaction
Gravity arises from the gradient between and . Let the spatial imbalance
For a test mass
at distance
, the gravitational acceleration is:
where
is a proportionality constant.
Substituting
we recover Newtonian gravity:
2.3. Cosmic Expansion
The universe expands as energy converts to mass, creating new space. The Hubble parameter is tied to the rate of mass-energy conversion:
where
is the scale factor,
is a dimensionless constant, and
is the universe’s total mass. This replaces dark energy with space-generation dynamics.
3. Key Predictions
3.1. Singularity Avoidance
The smallest possible radius for a mass is
. For a black hole, this modifies the event horizon:
Collapse halts at , preventing infinite density (Figure 1).
3.2. Light Bending
Light traverses paths where and balance. For a mass , the deflection angle is:
This predicts 41% larger deflection than GR, testable via gravitational lensing surveys.
3.3. Cosmic Acceleration
The CUT Hubble parameter for is:
aligning with observational values
without dark energy.

- Black Hole Shadows: The Event Horizon Telescope can test
- Gravitational Lensing: LSST or Euclid could detect CUT’s enhanced deflection angles.
- Hubble Tension: CUT’s

6. Discussion
6.1. Strengths
- Eliminates singularities and dark energy.
- Unifies gravity and cosmic expansion under mass-space duality.
- Testable via existing astrophysical instruments.
6.2. Limitations
- Requires quantization of
for quantum gravity integration. - Energy conservation in space creation needs refinement.
7. Conclusion
The Cosmic Unified Theory reimagines spacetime as a product of mass-energy interactions. By deriving gravity from spatial imbalances and cosmic expansion from space generation, CUT offers a parsimonious solution to longstanding cosmological puzzles. Future work will focus on empirical validation and quantum extensions.
