The Vacuum Donut Hypothesis

In today’s post I make a tentative hypothesis on the nature of gravity on the cosmic scale. In my previous posts I’ve been talking about the way reflective gravity works on the supramolecular level. Or more precisely I’ve been talking about my attempt to describe reflective gravity mathematically, with partial success. In today’s post I apply the concept to celestial bodies that move in more or less circular orbitals. And for this I need a vacuum donut.
The vacuum donut is a tangible way to describe the curvature of space-time. In a previous post I presented my hypothesis of the vacuum bubble, or the way in which ‘bubbles’ of celestial hydrogen (whose diameter is defined by their energy level) form even bigger ‘vacuum bubbles’ when moving in a collective quasi-spherical orbital with a much bigger radius than that of a single hydrogen bubble. In the vacuum donut hypothesis the celestial hydrogen also forms toroidal helices, or ‘donuts’.

A fascinating thing about these donuts is that they are supramolecularly identical to the concept of the monolignol toroidosomes (above), that I first developed for the self-assembly and nature of lignin, a bit over five years ago. So, the solution to celestial gravity has been in front of my face for five years but I just hadn’t made the link.
So, “what is the logic behind these donuts?” you might think. Well, molecules (both on earth and in the vacuum of space) are arranged into a helical torus and their movement is confined by their neighboring molecules. This means that while the molecules would otherwise move in straight lines, the collide with their neighboring molecules that are moving in non-parallel directions. These back-and-forth reflections (= perfectly elastic collisions) result in the path of the molecules being perpendicular to the plane of the turn of the toroidal helix, meaning that the orbital of a single molecule is also a toroidal helix, but with a shallower angle. I’m pretty convinced (but not yet 100 % sure) that this is what the curvature of spacetime really means.
While in the case of monolignols and lignin the helical torus looks very compact, in the case of celestial hydrogen, the helical torus has a huge primary radius, but a much smaller secondary radius. For planets the primary radius being the distance of the planet to the star/sun and the secondary radius being located probably just beyond the exosphere.
This idea of a vacuum donut raises a lot of questions, which I still don’t have answers for. One of them being the question of the exact shape of the vacuum donut. Does it resemble a loose net, which prevents the passage of large vacuum bubbles, but allows for the passage of small ones? What does this mean to the helical motion of planets around stars: is there a vacuum donut of hydrogen coiled to a phone-cord shape directing the motion of the planets?
However, there is one thing that I do know: I do not need to invent new mathematics on top of what I’ve already come up with for reflective gravity. Just as long as I solve the mathematical problems I’m currently struggling with, the solution should immediately apply to the gravity of celestial bodies as well.
Perhaps I should try to get help from astrophysicist now that I’m actually trying to solve a problem finally relevant to them.
