Adversarial Testing: Proving the Viscous Gravity Mechanism

The Mechanism: Resolving the Hidden Mass Problem

In our previous reports, we identified the Gravitational Phase Transition and the Gravitational Reynolds Number ($Re_G$). But correlation is not causation. To truly prove that Information Scaling Law (ISL) theory works, we had to answer a harder question:

Does this “viscous spacetime” actually hold a galaxy together?

Test 1: The N-Body Simulation

We built a direct N-Body simulation to test the stability of a “hot” Dwarf Galaxy ($V_{disp} \approx 30-40$ km/s). Under standard Newtonian physics, such a galaxy flies apart because it lacks the mass to hold itself together (the “Missing Mass” problem).

We ran the same galaxy with the ISL Phase correction ($lpha \approx 0.35$). The result was definitive:

The simulation proves that the Laminar Phase provides real, stabilizing gravitational binding energy. It’s not just a math trick; it’s a physical force.

Test 2: The Cluster Limit

The biggest failure of rival theories like MOND is that they predict “phantom gravity” in Galaxy Clusters, where none should exist (or where it conflicts with data). ISL predicts that gravity should return to Newtonian behavior at large scales ($Re_G \gg 10^6$).

Our analysis confirms this:

• Dwarf Galaxy ($Re_G \approx 200$): High $lpha$ (Dark Matter Mimic).
• Galaxy Cluster ($Re_G \approx 1.5M$): Zero $lpha$ (Newtonian).

Conclusion

We now have a complete, mechanistic picture. Spacetime behaves like a fluid. At low Reynolds numbers (dwarfs), it is laminar and viscous, creating “extra” gravity. At high Reynolds numbers (clusters), it is turbulent and efficient, obeying Newton’s laws.

This is the Gravitational Phase Transition.
