Quantum Fields in a Reflective Medium - Rethinking Spacetime, Gravity and Vacuum Through Pressure Dynamics and Mirror Symmetry

<b>Quantum Fields in a Reflective Medium: Rethinking Spacetime, Gravity and Vacuum Through Pressure Dynamics and Mirror Symmetry</b> presents a radical unification of physics and consciousness through a new model of the quantum vacuum as a <b>recursive, pressure-sensitive medium</b>.Departing from standard formulations of quantum field theory and general relativity, this thesis proposes that gravitational effects arise not from spacetime curvature, but from <b>pressure gradients</b> in a compressible field-like medium that underlies all physical reality. Light bending, orbital anomalies, and field behavior are reinterpreted through this lens, eliminating the need for singularities and renormalisation.Chapters explore field collapse, decoherence, and the hierarchy problem within a medium framework, leading to new interpretations of <b>non-locality, entanglement, and time</b> as emergent from <b>recursive feedback</b>. The thesis extends beyond physics into the architecture of <b>consciousness, memory, death, and rebirth</b>, suggesting that reality is structured by <b>mirror-like recursion</b> linking mind and matter, life and afterlife, light and information.Drawing from quantum mechanics, vacuum physics, cognitive science and metaphysical philosophy, this work culminates in a proposed <b>multi-plane model of consciousness</b>, exploring the continuity of awareness after death and the field-based encoding of memory and karma. The final chapters propose testable predictions and open pathways for future experimental and interdisciplinary inquiry.
