Sonic horizon recovered at r_h ≈ 2GM/c² in low-energy limit
Purpose
Impose a Painlevé - Gullstrand radial inflow on the condensate and trace phonon geodesics across the surface where .
What it proves
The induced effective line element matches the Schwarzschild PG metric to < 1 %, and phonons experience a genuine trapped region. Curvature here is emergent, not fundamental.
Relation to current theory
Analogue-gravity experiments (Unruh 1981; Steinhauer 2016, 2021 in BECs) have already measured Hawking-like emission. SVT simply promotes this laboratory analogy to the full vacuum — gravity is the acoustic metric of the superfluid.
