Universal Motion Theory: Core Framework and Expansion Applications
Richard Bernot · Preprints.org · 2025
Universal Motion Theory (UMT) presents a new foundational model for the emergence of time, gravitational structures, and cosmic phenomena. Based on curvature activation without infinities or pre-existing fields, UMT remains consistent with general relativity in high-activation limits while offering falsifiable predictions across gravitational waves, cosmic voids, cosmic microwave background structure, and fast radio bursts. This comprehensive paper presents the core framework of UMT and its major expansion applications. The theoretical framework is developed through an activation-weighted action principle, deriving modified field equations and conservation laws consistent with general relativity in high-activation limits. Observational anchors include predictions for gravitational wave echoes, weak lensing at cosmic void boundaries, fast radio burst localization patterns, and imprints on the cosmic microwave background. Each prediction offers a falsifiable test for curvature activation dynamics in upcoming and ongoing surveys.
