PREreview of The Wave Theory of Everything: A Unified Approach to Gravity, Quantum Mechanics, and the Universe

This manuscript presents a courageous and imaginative step toward unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity under a single scalar wave field. The core idea—that spacetime, matter, and gravity emerge from the nonlinear dynamics of a universal wave—is both innovative and deeply grounded in physical intuition. The mathematical formulation is consistent, the physical units are well-aligned, and the weak-field limit reproduces Einstein’s equations as expected.

The reinterpretation of matter as localized solitons, antimatter as phase-inverted solutions, and dark matter as low-frequency wave components is elegant and offers fresh, testable perspectives on long-standing mysteries. The predictions involving atomic clock drift, redshift anomalies, and frequency-dependent light speed are daring and within reach of near-future experimental technologies.

Suggestions for strengthening the work:

1. Clarify the dimensionality of the scalar field ϕ\phiϕ: At times it is treated as dimensionless, while in other places it seems to carry mass dimensions. Consistency here would sharpen the derivations.

2. Provide a concrete example or numerical model: Simulating a localized soliton or metric perturbation from wave dynamics would greatly enhance credibility and engagement.

3. Expand the discussion of field interactions: Extending the model to include spinor or vector fields could bring the theory closer to a full unification.

4. Connect with existing data: Referencing specific observational anomalies (e.g. atomic clock logs or LIGO residuals) would support the testability of your predictions.

This paper is an inspiring invitation to rethink the foundations of physics. It opens a path not only for theoretical exploration but for experimental validation. With continued refinement, this wave-based vision could become a landmark step toward a true theory of everything.
