Description
The “Surrounding” model [1], based on a modification of Newton’s law, has demonstrated its ability to explain a variety of gravitational phenomena, including galactic rotation curves and anomalies traditionally attributed to dark matter. Recent improvements align the model with additional observational constraints, such as the Tully-Fisher relation and detailed small-galaxy velocity profiles, resulting in an unprecedented framework capable of addressing most major gravitational mysteries.
Building upon this, recent developments in General Relativity (GR) reveal a previously overlooked aspect of the Einstein field equations related to the treatment of energy in motion [2]. By incorporating these effects into GR, I derive a discrete approximation of the equations, in which the “Surrounding effect” naturally emerges within the fundamental relativistic framework. Importantly, this modified approach preserves traditional GR predictions in standard scenarios while also offering new explanations for phenomena that remain unresolved under conventional assumptions.
This unified perspective not only strengthens the theoretical foundation of the “Surrounding” model but also provides a consistent framework for interpreting diverse astrophysical and cosmological observations. By connecting phenomenological modifications of Newtonian gravity with a refined understanding of GR, it opens a path toward resolving both galactic-scale anomalies and broader gravitational issues. Under a broader unifying view, it also suggests potential insights into fundamental field-theoretical problems.
