Light as a Critical-Phase Boundary Fluid: Theoretical Framework and Computational Validation

This paper presents a transformative framework for understanding light not as a fundamental constant, but as an emergent phenomenon arising from the critical interaction between time and gravity fields. Through theoretical modeling and computational fluid dynamics simulations, the study demonstrates that when these two compressible fields reach a critical compression ratio, a distinct phase emerges—manifesting properties identical to electromagnetic radiation. This critical-phase boundary fluid exhibits invariance of speed (c), wave-particle duality, and caustic behavior, all as natural consequences of the field interaction. The work reframes the constancy of light as an emergent boundary condition rather than an axiom, offering a unified explanation for electromagnetic behavior and its integration into spacetime. Implications extend across relativity, quantum electrodynamics, and cosmology, with testable predictions in gravitationally extreme environments. The results suggest a deeper fluid-dynamic origin to light, laying a conceptual bridge between classical fields and quantum behavior.
