Vacuum Breathing Theory

This work presents the Vacuum Breathing Theory (VBT), a foundational postulate that models spacetime as an isotropically oscillating vacuum fabric at the Planck frequency. By averaging over the rapid oscillations, the theory yields an effective Hamiltonian that recovers the hydrogenic bound states without ad hoc assumptions, reproducing standard radial probability densities and energy levels. Extensions of the framework connect naturally to electromagnetism, general relativity, and cosmology. In the weak-field limit, the formalism reproduces Einstein gravity, while at large scales it provides a mechanism for cosmological redshift and vacuum amplitude variation. The theory also generates falsifiable predictions, including subtle spectral shifts and vacuum birefringence effects that can be tested with precision experiments (PVLAS, BMV) and astrophysical observations. The Zenodo record includes the full manuscript (PDF), LaTeX sources, and supporting Python simulations that replicate key atomic and cosmological results. Together, these materials provide a transparent, reproducible framework for independent verification and further development.
