u/HGDVL

A new Physica Scripta paper shows gravitational waves can form bound states in the continuum — basically trapped GW modes created by symmetry incompatibility, just like photonic BICs.

My EDPSM/ESP theory predicted this exact behavior:

• periodic curvature
• scalar-field layering
• trapped tensor modes
• destructive interference channels
• horizon echoes from localized GW packets

The paper uses flat spacetime and a toy periodic metric.
My model generates the periodic structure dynamically from a scalar field near compact objects.

I’m not claiming victory — I’m asking the community:
Is this a legitimate extension of the BIC concept into GR with scalar dynamics, or am I over-interpreting the similarity?

Would love feedback from people who know GR, wave mechanics, or photonic BICs.
