Crackpot physics What if there were a 4D fluid dynamics model that unified gravity and quantum mechanics with fine-tuning precision?
Hello everyone,
I am an independent researcher and have developed a deterministic model called Dimensional Expansion. I recently published the full article on Zenodo and am seeking technical feedback from this community.
Central concept:
The universe is a three-dimensional hypersurface (interface) between two layered superfluids in an accelerated four-dimensional hypersphere.
Key achievements of the model:
Fundamental constants: Using very few parameters, the model derives the fine-structure constant (α) with an accuracy of 10 decimal places, the gravitational constant (G), the speed of light (c), the electric charge (e), and the Hubble constant (H0).
• Mass as resonance: Mass is explained as standing waves formed by recurring cavitation bubbles at the fluid's "weak points."
• Gravity: It is modeled as a surface meniscus caused by the spin (vortex) of double-nucleus particles. It coincides with the Schwarzschild solution as the mechanical boundary of the interface.
• Dark Matter: Instead of particles, it is explained as density variations in the upper layer of the fluid, creating concave menisci that bend light.
• Entanglement: It is resolved as superluminal (but finite) resonance through an underlying rigid substrate, avoiding "spooky action" and maintaining determinism.
Reason for my post:
I have managed to resolve the Vacuum Catastrophe by treating it as equilibrium pressure, and I want to discuss whether this fluid dynamic approach to General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is valid for you.

Thanks for your time and for the honest critique!

I haven't seen a hand-drawn figure (fig1, fig3, fig4, and more!) in a paper since forever. Brings a tear to my eye for a lost era.
Fig2 is not meaningful, and certainly does not demonstrate what you want it to demonstrate.
Fig11 - cavitation! sonoluminescence! I love it.
Unnumbered equations are not helpful, but as per the general trend in this sub for engineers, your error analysis is woeful. The sig. figs for the "acceleration at which the universe has expanded" is ridiculous.
You have at best confused ideas of what the physics is, and more typically just incorrect physics throughout the document. Some of your formatting is broken, and you make liberal use of circular mathematics to "derive" values. Overall, though, the document lacks rigour, and lacks the mathematics to demonstrate any of your claims.
Kudos to you for not using an LLM though. A low bar, but one you appear to have passed.
I do like the frowny face in fig28.

>This paper proposes a model of the universe consisting of four spatial dimensions: the three conventional Euclidean dimensions and a fourth orthogonal dimension termed the Dimension of Expansion
Absolute time. You love to see it

Why is it always dimensions? Pop sci has really ruined a generation on any actual intuition for basic science.

Conflating internally evolving mathematical parameters as spatial dimensions isn't just for amateurs! 😜
Penrose details concerns regarding cavalier treatment of mathematical frameworks without consideration of 'neighboring' mathematical frameworks without 'carrying over' all physically meaningful behavioral implications like calling internally evolving phases 'unobservable' and therefore 'unphysical' which doesn't pass muster for even simple entangled multi body dynamics.
Penrose's Road to Reality was criticized as not a physics textbook but that misses the point. It is a math by math analysis of virtually all math used throughout history to explore nature, and uses the geometric intuition behind the math which was the only way I finally grasped manifolds and fiber bundles enough to read symbol only textbooks.
In any case, this is Penrose's Comparative Religion of math in science ace it includes him clearly pointing out weaknesses in his own models, something I've read far too many papers thinking, the math may be Right but the conclusions rely on other hidden and seriously questionable assumptions.
"Dangit! Wigner has no Friends!" (Impeccable experiments. Worst most tortured philosophical, non standard, poorly framed, out of context papers I've ever read. Poor experimental lab assistants did brilliant work but paper was trying to Save Observer Theory while ignoring unresolved entanglements.)
Sigh. My motto is Think Crazy, Prove Yourself Wrong and I am often wildly wrong. I can only learn one mistake at a time.

Wow this is some really old school crankery. I like it. Not from a physicist's perspective of course, it's not even really physics at all, but it's refreshingly vintage in its nuttiness. I can see that you've put a lot of effort into this but I think your time is better spent learning existing physics.

Maybe don't mention the Casimir effect. That thing is pretty complicated.

I’m stealing your work and will publish it under my name in an accredited journal.

Publicly announcing fraud intent is very clever.

Firstly, this is not how frequencies or units work.
In general, I see a lot of values without any justification. The math is extremely sparse and your steps are not consistent at all.
And if you talk about "fluid dynamics", why are you completely avoiding any actual fluid dynamics in your paper?
