A new model of space-time is proposed that incorporates the properties of a random resistor network. The self-similar nature of such networks is particularly useful in extrapolating force interactions to different levels of scale. By modeling time and matter as current and resistance, respectively, a simple equation for mass, time, and motion is derived that provides a novel mechanism for the displacement of matter. Keywords: Random resistor network, space-time, redshift, gravity, speed of light, Introduction Recent cosmological observations suggest that prevailing models of space-time may not adequately describe certain phenomena, thus inviting the formulation of alternative constructs that address these unresolved issues [1-3].
