Reconsidering Photon-Graviton Dynamics: A Hypothesis for Dark Matter and Dark Energy

This paper presents a novel hypothesis proposing that photons and gravitons are not separate entities but are mutually combined within a shared wave packet, forming a unique structure with both electromagnetic and gravitational components. The hypothesis suggests that dark matter and dark energy could be manifestations of the separated components of this photon-graviton system, with dark energy associated with the photonic component and dark matter with the gravitonic component. The paper reinterprets mass-energy equivalence, introduces modified equations incorporating gravitational influences, and draws analogies with virtual particles to provide new insights into these phenomena. The work also introduces a helical spring model for gravitons, offering a visual complement to the idea of gravitational interactions at quantum scales. This approach could pave the way for new theories and experimental approaches to understanding fundamental forces and cosmological mysteries.
