Hi, I’m Tedd Kanakaris — musician, visual thinker, and lifelong seeker of structure.
After years of stairing at stars, I found myself staring deep into something else that begged for structure: the emptiness. I have an idea.
I’m not a physicist and the language of math has only been intimidating. To arrive at a theory worth pursuing and to communicate ideas, I’m using AI language models to reverse-engineer these ideas into math for my understanding and into a language that physicists understand.
Thank you for your willingness to comment, contribute and collaborate and most importantly, for your patience.
Today, I’m releasing the first version of a theory I call:
Gravitational Substrate Theory (GST)
At its core, GST suggests that:
Space isn’t empty — it’s structured by a massive, invisible substrate of field points that shape gravity, time, and light.**
These field points aren't particles. They’re the fabric of spacetime. And they might explain:
- Why galaxies hold together (without needing dark matter)
- Why light bends in the absence of visible mass (gravitational lensing)
- Why space has energy (vacuum energy)

You can explore and download the full presentation here:
Gravitational Substrate Theory on GitHub
🔍 Why This Might Matter
Most theories add new particles.
This theory reinterprets the structure we already see.
GST doesn’t fight the laws of physics. It reframes what “space” means.
It suggests:
- That each point in spacetime has mass—even if it's “empty”
- That gravity isn’t a pull from matter, but a bend from the field itself
- That the universe is curved, structured, and alive with latent potential
🧠 What Happens Now?
- This post serves as a public timestamp for the release of Gravitational Substrate Theory (GST), now published on GitHub and open for collaborative exploration.
- The GitHub release is now live for **scientific review and collaboration**
- I’ll be publishing visuals, videos, and explainers in the coming weeks.
- If you’re a physicist, theorist, science communicator or visual designer — I’d love your thoughts.

🎵 Why Me?
I can’t sleep well with dark matter and energy undefined.
Because structure is everywhere—music, finance, relationships, and now, maybe gravity.
I’m not a trained physicist—and I think that might be my superpower.
I’ve been obsessed with music since I was six, visualizing sound, vibration, and frequency in my mind. Over the years, I’ve expanded that mental repertoire to include light, gravity, quantum fields, and time. I’ve read deeply as a layman. I’m known to either thrive or faceplant on out-of-the-box ideas—and this is my first for science.
My grandfather studied physics at the University of Chicago after WWII, having served in the 84th Airborne. As a designer, he helped build the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Lab. I often played piano in the same room while he designed pet projects in AutoCAD.
We used to draw together on napkins—his sketches always to scale and realistic, mine cartoon interpretations of his world.
I never understood his words. And I failed math.
But I absorbed everything he was interested in.
Much of this project is my attempt to communicate with him, finally—through a chatbot interpreter.
This is for you, Grandpa.
Let’s see where it leads.
