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 v=cs|\mathbf{v}| = c_{s}.

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.

Key equation
ds2=ρ0c[(c2v2)dt22v ⁣ ⁣dxdt+dxdx]ds^{2} = \frac{\rho_{0}}{c}\Big[-(c^{2}-v^{2})\,dt^{2} - 2\,\mathbf{v}\!\cdot\!d\mathbf{x}\,dt + d\mathbf{x}\cdot d\mathbf{x}\Big]
