A theoretical framework is presented in which a single dynamic medium—Aether—with three independently varying properties (density, pressure, temperature) and two interaction types (flow and binding) accounts for over twenty distinct physical phenomena spanning electromagnetism, gravity, special relativity, black hole physics, and cosmology. The electric field is identified as radial Aether flow, magnetism as the pressure differentials between interacting electron spin vortices, and gravity as the residual asymmetry of a transient binding cycle in which virtual particle–antiparticle pairs form and annihilate continuously at every atom. The two foundational processes—transient pair formation and the Dynamic Casimir Effect—are both experimentally confirmed; the theory reinterprets their physical significance rather than proposing unobserved mechanisms. From these assumptions, the framework derives several established results without fitted parameters: the Lorentz factor γ = 1/√ (1 − v²/c²) from geometric path lengths in the medium, the magnetic force law Fₘag = Fₑlec · v₁v₂/c² from flow reorientation, the relation μ₀ = 4πk/c² as a derived identity, E = mc² from the compression wave energy of dissolving mass, the Fresnel drag coefficient 1 − 1/n² from the density structure of Aether in refractive media, and the full general-relativistic gravitational lensing angle 4GM/ (r₀c²) from the sum of refractive bending through the gravitational density gradient and deflection by Aether inflow at escape velocity. The event horizon is shown to be a sonic horizon where the inflow velocity reaches c, providing a concrete physical mechanism for Hawking radiation via asymmetric transient binding at the horizon boundary. The five classical experiments historically regarded as having disproved aether theories (Michelson–Morley, Kennedy–Thorndike, Sagnac, stellar aberration, Fizeau) are all quantitatively predicted by the model. The theory offers a natural resolution of the vacuum catastrophe, explains the 10⁴² hierarchy between electromagnetic and gravitational force strengths, unifies the Hawking, Unruh, and Schwinger effects as manifestations of a single binding mechanism, and makes specific falsifiable predictions including environment-dependent variation of G, a characteristic gravitational wave frequency, and deviations from the Lorentz factor at extreme compressions.
