New Theories / Another Model of Gravity

Or maybe you meant that it was real after all?
You comparing it to imaginary numbers confuse me a little.
To me it contains distance, therefore it exist as a constituent of SpaceTime. Therefore it is real, as 'real' as anything else that have a geometrical form.
But your idea of vacuum creating mass is definitely a new one to me.
So where would you think that infinite supply of vacuum would come from?
I do believe the vacuum is real. I just believe it is something that we cannot sense directly. Can't grab a sample of it for analysis.
My analogy with the imaginary numbers was probably a poor one. Just disregard it.
Infinity is infinity. If there is an infinite supply, there is always more to replace what is used. The universe is believed to be infinite and expanding. Perhaps more vacuum is made as the universe expands. This is certainly a question that must be addressed at some point; however, right now I'm just trying to establish the framework of the model so that this and other aspects of it can be explored.
I appreciate and welcome your questions and interest. Please do not hesitate to challenge the fundamentals of what I'm proposing. I have no problem with modifying or even abandoning a line of thought if I am convinced it is ill-conceived. I just want to make sure the idea gets a fair evaluation.
