Complete Theoretical Framework

The oscillating brane dark matter theory represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of the cosmos. Here we present the complete mathematical framework and physical insights.

Core Concepts

The Brane Universe

Our 4D spacetime is an elastic membrane floating in a 5D bulk. This isn’t merely a mathematical abstraction—it’s the fundamental nature of reality.

Gravitational Funnels

Black holes serve as conduits between our brane and the bulk, allowing dark matter to oscillate through the extra dimension.

Fundamental Oscillation

The entire universe vibrates as a single entity with a period of approximately 2 billion years, creating the effects we attribute to dark energy.

Mathematical Framework

Microscopic Excitation

The surface pressure induced by dark matter impacts writes:

\[\Pi(t) = \sum_i \dot{N}_i m_{MN} v_{\perp} \simeq f_{osc} \rho_{DM} v_{\perp}^2 [1 + \sin(\omega_0 t)]\]

Key features:

Coherent phase: Bulk crossing time ≪ 1 Gyr ensures identical phase across the sky
ℓ=0 selectivity: The coupling integral \(\int Y_{\ell m} d\Omega\) vanishes for ℓ > 0
Fundamental mode dominance: Only the spherically symmetric mode is excited

Energy of the Membrane

The deformation energy of the cosmic membrane is:

\[E_{tens} = \frac{1}{2} τ_0 A \left(\frac{2πz}{λ}\right)^2\]

Where:

τ₀ = 7.0 × 10¹⁹ J/m² is the brane tension
A ≃ R_H² is the area of the observable universe
z is the displacement in the extra dimension
λ ≃ 2R_H is the fundamental wavelength

Dark Energy Equation of State

The oscillating membrane creates a time-varying dark energy:

\[w(z) = -1 + A_w \sin\left(\frac{2π t_{lb}(z)}{T}\right)\]

With amplitude A_w ≃ 0.003 and period T = 2.0 Gyr.

Key insight: Though the amplitude is small (±0.3%), w oscillates between ≈ -1.003 and -0.997. This subtle variation is sufficient to:

Suppress structure growth by 5.2%
Resolve the S₈ tension
Be detectable by Euclid at >5σ significance

Modified Gravity

At low accelerations, the membrane’s properties create MOND-like effects:

\[a_0 = \frac{cH_0}{2π} × ξ ≃ 1.1 × 10^{-10} \text{ m/s}^2\]

Stability and Higher Resonances

Mode Damping Analysis

The coupling factor for higher modes scales as:

\[g_{\ell} \propto [\omega_{\ell}^2 - \omega_0^2]^{-1}\]

For the ℓ=2 mode: \(g_2/g_0 \sim (3\omega_0^2)^{-1} \approx 0.11\)

With Kelvin-Voigt damping γ ~ 10⁻² Gyr⁻¹:

Fundamental mode Q-factor: Q₀ > 200
First harmonic: Q₁ < 4
Result: The fundamental mode dominates by factor > 50

Why Only ℓ=0 Survives

Geometric coupling: Dark matter flux is isotropic, coupling only to spherically symmetric modes
Damping hierarchy: Higher modes experience stronger dissipation
Energy cascade: Non-linear interactions transfer energy to ℓ=0

The Cosmic Yoyo: Dark Matter Through Black Holes

The Perpetual Cycle

Black holes are not cosmic graveyards but gateways. Dark matter follows an eternal cycle:

Falls into black holes (gravitational funnels)
Traverses the 5th dimension through the singularity
Emerges elsewhere in 4D space
Falls again - completing the cosmic yoyo

This perpetual motion through black holes:

Creates gravity itself - the continuous flow generates the gravitational field
Fabricates spacetime - the oscillations literally create distance and time
Powers the universe until the Higgs field exhausts

The mathematics captures this through the funnel density: \(\rho_{\text{funnel}} \propto \frac{M}{r^3} f_{\text{osc}}\)

Where M is the black hole mass and f_osc is the oscillating fraction of dark matter.

Role of Primordial Black Holes

PBH Contribution (Ω_PBH ≲ 10⁻⁴)

Primordial black holes, if present, could enhance the oscillation mechanism:

Key Parameters:

PBH mass: ~10⁻¹¹ M_⊙
Funnel radius: ~30 nm (comparable to L)
Required density: >10⁻⁵ Mpc⁻³

Effects on Theory:

Increases f_osc from 0.10 to 0.15 (50% enhancement)
Amplifies A_w by ~30%
Creates additional structure in BAO modulation

Observational Test: The enhanced oscillation amplitude would be detectable through:

Stronger BAO peak modulation
Modified matter power spectrum at k ~ 0.1 Mpc⁻¹
Distinct pattern in weak lensing cross-correlations

This provides a direct probe of sub-stellar mass PBHs that are otherwise undetectable.

Nature of the Bulk: Point vs Immensity

Two Limiting Cases

The extra-dimensional bulk can be understood in two extreme limits:

Bulk-Point Scenario:

Warped geometry contracts the 5th dimension logarithmically
All black holes connect to the same topological point
Perfect phase coherence in dark matter oscillations
Prediction: No angular variation in w(z) phase

Bulk-Immensity Scenario:

Extended extra dimension with weak curvature
Multiple pathways through the bulk
The “void” as infinite creative potential
Prediction: Δφ ≳ 0.05 rad phase decorrelation

Observable Signatures

Observable	Bulk-Point	Bulk-Immensity
w(z) phase coherence	Perfect	Δφ ≳ 0.05 rad
GW echo at 2f₀	Strong	Weakened
KK mode spectrum	Discrete	Quasi-continuous

End of the Universe

When oscillations cease (H* → 0):

4D view: Metric implosion, distances → 0
5D view: Brane dilutes into expanding bulk
Not destruction but geometric phase transition

The “null distance” internally corresponds to external deployment - a return to the creative void from which branes emerged.
