The Mechanics of Reality

This paper comprehensively unifies fundamental cosmic phenomena, including gravity, time dilation, light propagation, entropy, dark energy, and dark matter, under the Resilient Thermodynamic Elastic Boundary Theory (RTEBT). By modeling the universe as a quantized elastic boundary membrane expanding through a higher dimensional Bulk, the framework resolves long-standing physics paradoxes, reframing gravity as an asymmetrical thermodynamic squeeze, time as the matrix refresh rate, and dark energy as the compound interest of quantized space. Additional mechanical evaluations address black hole elastic locks, cosmological redshift, and the ultimate thermodynamic evolution toward the Great Flatline.
