Force Transmission and the Speed of Light: Reinterpreting Hooke's Constant in Closed Surface Theory and Momentum Domino Theory of Electric Current

This paper proposes that electric current is not the physical migration of electrons but the propagation of momentum between electrons in a domino-like transmission.In the limit of perfect rigidity and structural uniformity, the propagation speed of momentum exchange reaches the speed of light c.This reinterpretation unifies elasticity, electromagnetism, and closed-surface curvature dynamics by treating current as a stress-wave phenomenon rather than a particle-flow phenomenon.Resistivity is explained as scattering within the momentum-transmission chain, superconductivity as perfectly coherent propagation without scattering, and semiconductor behavior as a partially coherent chain whose transmission properties can be tuned by excitation or doping.The momentum domino model provides a structural foundation for understanding electric current as a macroscopic manifestation of curvature-stress propagation approaching the maximum possible transmission speed c.

Abstract

This paper proposes that electric current is not the physical migration of electrons but the propagation of momentum between electrons in a domino-like transmission.In the limit of perfect rigidity and structural uniformity, the propagation speed of momentum exchange reaches the speed of light c.This reinterpretation unifies elasticity, electromagnetism, and closed-surface curvature dynamics by treating current as a stress-wave phenomenon rather than a particle-flow phenomenon.Resistivity is explained as scattering within the momentum-transmission chain, superconductivity as perfectly coherent propagation without scattering, and semiconductor behavior as a partially coherent chain whose transmission properties can be tuned by excitation or doping.The momentum domino model provides a structural foundation for understanding electric current as a macroscopic manifestation of curvature-stress propagation approaching the maximum possible transmission speed c.
