Tareq Planck Spacetime Theory (TPST): A Unified Elastic-Lattice Framework for Gravity and Cosmic Expansion

The Tareq Planck Spacetime Theory (TPST) models spacetime as a discrete elastic lattice at the Planck scale. In this framework, gravity emerges from elastic deformation, matter corresponds to lattice defects, and dark-matter-like and dark-energy-like effects arise naturally from higher-order curvature elasticity and bulk expansion.TPST explains galactic rotation curves, Bullet Cluster mass separation, gravitational lensing behavior, and cosmic acceleration without requiring exotic dark matter particles or a separate dark energy fluid.This Zenodo upload includes the TPST manuscript, LaTeX source, and metadata for open scientific archiving.
