PPT proposes that gravity is not an intrinsic property of mass but a result of electrostatic plasma pressure acting on a celestial body's electron cloud. Instead of mass “pulling” objects inwards, plasma exerts a force on planetary surfaces, compressing electron clouds and generating what we perceive as gravitational acceleration.
Kudos to you for challenging spacetime! Your external pressure hypothesis, although needing some tweaking for gravity, does hit the nail on the head for replacing the strong nuclear force! You have uncovered an approach to unification by challenging the assumption that the nucleus is held together my magical internal forces that overcomes the proton repulsion when close contact is made.
As discussed by other members here, the external pressure hypothesis, as considered for gravity, does not determine mass. To determine mass, consider that the pressure mechanism must permeate the atom's electron orbitals, all while NOT permeating the nucleons. What is left, is an "electrostatic pressure" (let's drop the "plasma" term for now) that permeates matter, and in doing so, no longer acts as a kinetic or collision based pressure on an outside surface, but instead acts electrostatically - a non-contact, and repulsion based pressure mechanism that works harmoniously with the electron orbitals.
To continue with the strong nuclear force discussion, the non-contact mechanism can be modeled as a kinetic/collision mechanism (at the nucleus level in this case), as we are only dealing with the nucleons and the electrostatic pressure (ie, no electron orbitals are involved). So, a straight forward pressure analogy will work. Imagine taking some golf ball sized oil-based modeling clay deep into the ocean to a depth where any variations in sphericity is somewhat corrected by the extreme pressure. The clay spheres (let's assume perfect buoyancy) just 'hang' in the water where they are placed - they don't attract nor repel, they just do nothing (they are neutrons in this example). Now cause a slight collision of two spheres. When a sufficient contact area is created between the two, where all water has been expelled, the remaining surface area pressure will cause the two spheres to 'glom' together. (For two protons, just use a collision velocity sufficient to form a 'kiss' contact without a bounce.)
Again, kudos to you for challenging spacetime, and developing an alternative mechanism to the strong nuclear force!
Continue to challenge the "gravity attracts" assumption, you're on the right path - challenge next the "we have no clue what dark energy is or where it comes from". (Consider dark energy = the aether (that is not supposed to exist) = zero point energy, ie, challenge the no aether assumption)
Challenge also charge neutrality...
Ask your AI the following question (try several as some can be very hardcore traditionalists, LOL), and let's continue the conversation.
"Within the framework of emergent gravity, could dark energy act not only as a repulsive force driving cosmic expansion but also exert a localized repulsive 'push gravity,' with the universe's large-scale structure effectively functioning as a 'cosmological container' for this pressure?"
