Everything you consider 'solid' might actually be a bubble of emptiness floating in an ultra-dense sea of invisible 'nothing.'

A Paradigm-Shifting Cosmological Model: The Dense Vacuum Hypothesis
SSRN · 6284378
The Takeaway
The Dense Vacuum Hypothesis inverts our basic intuition, proposing that the vacuum is incredibly heavy and matter is just a low-density 'void.' This radical shift explains why galaxies don't fly apart and what dark energy is without needing to add new, mystery particles.
From the abstract
This paper presents the Dense Vacuum Hypothesis (DVH), a novel cosmological model that inverts traditional perspectives by positing the vacuum as an ultra-dense medium and matter as low-density voids. DVH provides unified explanations for galactic stability, cosmic expansion, and dark energy, demonstrating alignment with DESI DR2 data through dynamical vacuum pressure. In comparison to ΛCDM, DVH resolves tensions in <i>H O</i> and <i>o</i> 8 without invoking separate dark components, while offer
