Gravity & Inertia in the Celestial Plenum

Abstract

The prevailing cosmological paradigm, anchored in the Newtonian vacuum, increasingly relies on theoretical placeholders such as Dark Matter to resolve observational anomalies. This paper proposes a return to the Cartesian Plenum, re-contextualized through modern Superfluid Vacuum Theory (SVT) and Quantum Foam dynamics. By analysing the Solar System as a vortex embedded within a galactic superfluid rather than an isolated clockwork in a void, kinematic paradoxes including the retrograde rotation of Venus and the angular momentum distribution of Jupiter can be resolved. Furthermore, this study integrates the historical ontology of aether physics—from the Vaiseshika Sutras of Rishi Kanada to the etymological roots of ‘massa’ and ‘gravitas’—to propose that Gravity and Inertia are not fundamental forces, but manifestations of fluid Adhesion and Cohesion within a quantum medium.
