Endogenous Planetary Hydrogen Generation via Vacuum Field-Mass Coupling and Core-Mantle Dynamics: A Framework for Planetary Growth and Volatile Synthesis

Repository Platform: Zenodo Publication Target: Open Access Pre-print Repository Abstract Mainstream planetary science relies on external delivery mechanisms—such as cometary and asteroid impacts—to account for Earth’s surface water and volatile inventory. However, these models face persistent mass-balance and isotopic paradoxes. This paper presents a unified framework for in situ, endogenously generated planetary hydrogen. By coupling quantum electrodynamic (QED) vacuum-field interactions with high-pressure core-mantle dynamics, we demonstrate that planetary bodies act as active transducers, continuously converting stationary electromagnetic and vacuum energy into baryonic matter (hydrogen) at depth. This continuous internal hydrogen flux resolves the core density deficit, drives planetary volume expansion, and fuels persistent, deep-seated water and hydrocarbon synthesis via serpentinization and Fischer-Tropsch-type reactions.
