Is Gravity Just a Misunderstood Form of Inertia? Foundations of vacuum-based gravitational interaction.

Abstract

This essay revisits one of the oldest questions in physics: is gravity fundamentally distinct from inertia, or simply a misunderstood manifestation of it? Within the Vacuum Gravity Model (VGM), gravity arises from gradients in the scalar amplitude of a vacuum field without invoking spacetime curvature. The inertial cadence $A(x,t)$ becomes the physical substrate of acceleration, and gravitation emerges as a scalar field effect. This essay lays the groundwork for an alternative view of the equivalence principle, opening the way to a curvature-free formulation of free fall and attraction. Foundations / Inertial Gravity (CE001), Vacuum Gravity Model (VGM)

Cet essai revisite l’une des plus anciennes questions de la physique : la gravité est-elle fondamentalement distincte de l’inertie, ou simplement une manifestation mal interprétée ? Dans le modèle VGM, la gravitation émerge de gradients dans l’amplitude scalaire du champ de vide sans courbure de l’espace-temps. La cadence inertielle $A(x,t)$ devient le support physique de l’accélération, et la gravité se manifeste comme un effet de champ scalaire.
