It presents a novel physical interpretation of the Einstein Field Equations (EFE) by introducing the emph{source-energy tensor} as the negative of the emph{stress-energy tensor} $(E_{muu} = -T_{muu})$ and the emph{strain tensor} as the negative of the emph{Einstein tensor} $(S_{muu} = -G_{muu})$, recasting the field equations as a constitutive relation $E_{muu} = kappa S_{muu}$, where $kappa = c^4/(8pi G)$ plays the role of the stiffness modulus of spacetime. From this formulation, a generalized Poisson equation is derived together with its Newtonian limit, demonstrating full mathematical equivalence with the original EFE while offering a mechanistic explanation of gravitational phenomena. The modified equations align with the Energy Hole Model (EHM), which interprets gravity as the manifestation of energy deficits arising due to the investment of energy during the synthesis of mass, rather than positive energy densities. Within this framework, the Friedmann equations are reformulated with new physical interpretations that naturally explain both the attractive gravity of matter and the repulsive effect of dark energy. This interpretation allows the EHM to resolve key cosmological puzzles, including the nature of dark matter, dark energy, and the cosmological constant problem, while preserving the predictive successes of general relativity, thereby offering a unified and physically intuitive foundation for gravity with potential pathways toward quantum gravity.
