The Origin of Gravity: Resolving the Paradigm Between Relativity and Quantum Theory

General Conclusion — The Critical Point: The Gravity Paradox This work proposes a profound shift in how physics understands gravity. Unlike classical perspectives that view gravity as a fundamental force (Newton) or as spacetime curvature caused by mass (Einstein), this proposal reframes gravity as a structural emergent function—a phenomenon that arises from the degree of internal coherence, functional density, and quantum organization within a physical system. The critical point—the true foundational error in modern science—lies in what we may call the gravity paradox: > For centuries, we have tried to understand the origin of gravity from within its own manifestation. All of experimental physics has been developed within active gravitational fields (such as Earth’s or the Sun’s), which has led us to treat gravity as a background assumption rather than an emergent phenomenon. This paradox has severely limited our ability to detect gravity’s true functional origin, because we attempt to observe the birth of a field while already immersed in it. It’s like trying to detect the moment it starts raining while already soaked, or attempting to study water while submerged in an ocean. This conceptual error has led to decades of increasingly complex models which, though mathematically refined, evade the root issue: the assumption that gravity is a primary, universal property—rather than a structural consequence of internal order. The Functional Proposal From this renewed perspective, gravity is not a cause but a consequence. It emerges naturally when a system reaches a condition of symmetry, coherence, and internal information density. The proposed formula: M = (Ed · K · S · T) · R · ψ(Λ) explains how and when mass (and with it, functional gravity) can emerge—not through the simple accumulation of matter, but through fertile structural conditions: energy density (Ed), contextual curvature (K), quantum phase symmetry (S), evolutionary time (T), internal resonance (R), and observational scale (ψ(Λ)). This framework allows us to differentiate gravitational nuclei—atomic, stellar, neutron, and singularities—based on their ability to organize space from within, rather than deform it from the outside. Structural Assessment Conceptual Strength: The text follows a clear logical flow with structured, progressive argumentation. Originality: It proposes a fully new interpretative model, without resorting to extra dimensions, hypothetical particles, or multiverse constructs. Consistency with Observables: It accounts for a wide range of phenomena—planetary structure, neutron stars, gravitational lensing without visible mass, and attraction in vacuum—under a single structural principle. Functional Simulation: Computational experiments support the idea that quantum coherence can generate structural attraction even in the absence of mass. Experimental Implication: A clear condition is proposed: we will only be able to observe the emergence of gravity outside of dominant gravitational fields, such as at Lagrange points. Final Projection > The greatest obstacle to understanding gravity has not been its complexity, but our conceptual position toward it. As long as gravity is seen as an external force or imposed geometry, the conflict between relativity and quantum theory will persist. But if we accept that both frameworks emerge from a deeper structural order, the path toward unification becomes clear. This work does not aim to modify existing models—it seeks to redefine the starting point. It proposes a vision in which the universe is already unified, and gravity is not its most elusive force, but its purest structural signature.
