Matter Expansion as an Alternative to Gravity: Concept and Implications

In this paper, we propose a new approach to gravity, interpreting it as a volume expansion phenomenon rather than a force of attraction. We explore the behavior of light near massive objects within this framework and compare the results with predictions of general relativity. Using practical examples, including light deflection near the Sun and black holes, as well as Young's double-slit experiment, we present calculations and analyze the consistency of this model with observational data. We also examine how this model may eliminate the need for dark matter by naturally explaining galaxy rotation curves.
