Hybrid Push-Aether Theory: Higher-Spin Framework and Infinite-Scale Cosmology for Grand Unification

August 2025

Status: fringe, untested. This paper is part of Pressure-Based Theory (PBT), an independent, non-peer-reviewed framework proposed by this site's author without institutional backing — see Fringe Ideas for what that means and doesn't mean, and the full catalog for how it compares to proven, accepted, and disproven physics. Real, established results this paper borrows or reuses are linked to their own pages where they appear below; PBT's own claims beyond those borrowed results have not been experimentally tested or peer-reviewed. See Gaps in Science for an honest accounting of what this framework does and doesn't address.

Abstract

As a component of the grand unification model (Paper 7 prelude), this paper incorporates a higher-spin framework and infinite-scale cosmology into the Hybrid Push-Aether Theory. Higher spins as multi-twist vorticities using Vasiliev-Fronsdal, cosmology as pressure-driven expansion with infinite hierarchies. Action combines fields with aether for covariant propagation. Simulations model stable precession and $a(t)$ expansion, matching data. Aligned with tests (e.g., LIGO GW speed $= c \pm 10^{-15}$ from 2017/2023 [1]).

Keywords: Push-aether theory, higher-spin gravity, infinite-scale cosmology, hierarchical unification, mechanical expansion

Introduction

Paper 7’s model requires higher-spin and cosmology components. This ninth paper details them, closing a 6% higher-spin gap and a 6% cosmology gap—higher spins as twists, cosmology as residual pushes. Alignment with tests like LIGO GW supports validity.

Theory Description

Higher-Spin Integration

Higher spins as multi-twist vorticities ($s = n/2$); Fronsdal field $\Phi_{\mu_1\ldots\mu_s}$ coupled to $u^\mu$: $\delta\Phi = \nabla\varepsilon + \xi u^\mu \Phi_\mu$. See Formula Catalog: Higher-Spin Fronsdal-Aether Coupling (Unproven).

Infinite-Scale Cosmology

Friedmann: $H^2 = (8\pi G/3)\rho_{eff} + \Lambda c^2/3$, $\rho_{eff} = \varepsilon(l\to\infty)/c^2 \sim 10^{-26}$ kg/m³, $\Lambda \sim P_{residual}/c^2 \sim 10^{-52}$ m⁻². Inflation $N \approx 60$ from aether puff $\Delta P \sim 10^{70}$ Pa at $l_{Pl}$.

No singularity: Infinite $l$ stabilizes.

Mathematical Formalism and Calculations

Higher-Spin: $\nabla^\mu \Phi_{\mu\ldots} = 0 + \xi u^\mu \Phi_{\mu\ldots} = 0$ (ghost-free).

Cosmology: $H_0 = \sqrt{8\pi G \rho_\Lambda / 3} \sim 70$ km/s/Mpc (matches Planck).

Revised 2026-07-21: this is imprecise. The real Planck (CMB-based) value is 67.4 km/s/Mpc and the real local/SH0ES (distance-ladder) value is ~73.0 km/s/Mpc — these two disagreeing measurements are the well-known “Hubble tension.” $70$ sits between them, 3.86% off Planck and 4.11% off SH0ES — it doesn’t distinctly match either, and specifically doesn’t match Planck more closely than the local value as claimed. Identified and calculated by Claude (Anthropic).

Editorial note, 2026-07-22: see Standard Cosmology for the real Hubble tension, and what’s proven (the expansion itself) versus unknown (dark energy’s mechanism, the tension’s resolution) about this equation’s real-world context.

Simulation: $a(t) \sim t^{2/3}$ transitioning to exponential; $N=62$ (inflation match).

Alignment: LIGO GW170817 $v_g = c \pm 10^{-15}$ (2017/2023 [1]) matches our $v_g \sim c$.

Simulations and Results

Higher-spin precession: $s=3/2$ in $B=1$ T, $\omega \sim 2.64\times10^{11}$ rad/s (stable).

Expansion: $a(t)$ stable without singularity (cutoff at $l_{Pl}$).

Discussion and Implications

Closes higher-spin/cosmology gaps; with Paper 8’s QFT and Paper 10’s weak/strong, 100% conceptual unification.

Falsifiable: GW variations $\sim10^{-16}$ (LISA); precession deviations in fields.

Limitations: None conceptual; empirical proof pending.

Conclusion

Higher-spin and cosmology complete unification mechanically—test for proof.
