Recent theoretical frameworks in general relativity and emergent gravity suggest that spacetime can exhibit frictional or dissipative effects, such as gravitational wave attenuation or vacuum viscosity, particularly in cosmological or quantum regimes.

The analysis

The retrieved papers [2], [3], and [4] explicitly model general relativistic regimes where spacetime behaves as a viscous, thermodynamic, or viscoelastic medium exhibiting dissipative effects, friction, or wave attenuation. The claim is specific and well-supported by these theoretical proposals.
