Evgenii R Zolottcev
This paper expands the Zolottcev Hypothesis by introducing the Z-thickness parameter of the Quantum Crystalline (QC) layer. We propose that the vacuum acts as a dissipative medium where dynamic viscosity is intrinsically linked to the fine-structure constant (ηqc ≡ α) [cite: 60, 71, 72]. By augmenting General Relativity with mechanical parameters of the spacetime fabric, we provide solutions for early galaxy formation and cosmic redshift [cite: 77, 79, 80]. A toroidal topology of the universe is proposed based on observed anisotropies [cite: 61, 82].
