Light as Spacetime: A Wave-Based Vacuum Suppression Model of Gravity

This paper proposes a new theoretical framework in which light is not merely a particle or wave propagating through spacetime, but the oscillatory foundation of spacetime itself. In this model, gravity emerges as the suppression of vacuum oscillatory modes due to the presence of dense quantum matter. By treating coherent photon modes as the physical substrate of spacetime, the theory unifies electromagnetic propagation and gravitational effects under a single wave-based mechanism. Computational simulations demonstrate how quantum compression density leads to gravitational potentials, field gradients, and lensing behavior without requiring spacetime curvature. This approach provides testable predictions and offers a new path toward quantum-gravitational unification.
