We recapitulate the Universal Matter Architecture (UMA), upon whose resultant
Yarman’s Approach (YA) overall energy constancy relationship we built the Quantal Theory of
Gravity (QTG) (Annals of Physics, Volume 454, in July 2023, 169346); and we do so by listing
its successful applications across all physical scales. Grounded in the law of energy conservation,
UMA/YA/QTG redefines gravitational motion in terms of Rest Mass Dynamics (RMS), whereby
the rest mass of the bound object varies through its static binding energy as a function of its
altitude with respect to the host body. Therefore, a minute decrease in the object’s rest mass in,
say, an elliptical orbit furnishes the extra kinetic energy it acquires; or vice versa, the slowing
down it exhibits results in the concentration of a fraction of its kinetic energy as additional rest
mass. As a crucial achievement, UMA/YA/QTG remains the only known theoretical framework
to have yielded the prediction of both i) the magnitude and ii) the vanishing behavior of the
observationally established peculiar accelerated expansion of the universe. This had been done
without invoking an ad hoc cosmological constant or exotic forms of Dark Energy. Such a novel
gestalt had thus engendered our prediction of a natural outward cosmic acceleration, as well as a
decline in its value with respect time, all in agreement with the very recently collected
astrophysical data. In addition, UMA/YA/QTG stands in full symbiosis with Quantum Mechanics
(QM), while General Theory of Relativity (GTR) is known to be incompatible with it. Seeing as
UMA/YA/QTG explains all the centennial results so-far believed to corroborate Einstein as well
as much more, GTR need no longer serve as the foundation of understanding gravitational
phenomena. Moreover, UMA/YA/QTG is applicable to all bound fields, inasmuch as offering a
unified, predictive, and experimentally consistent scientific philosophy of matter and its possible
modes of interaction.
