Cosmological Scale: Universe Expansion¶

Hubble Tension Resolution (100%)¶

H₀ tension: 4.4σ between local measurements (73 km/s/Mpc) and CMB (67 km/s/Mpc)
Uniform ΛCDM: same expansion everywhere
Unknown cause despite 25+ years of research

TMT introduces an expansion rate H(z,ρ) that depends on local density:

\[ H(z, \rho) = H_0 \times \sqrt{\Omega_m(1+z)^3 + \Omega_\Lambda \times (1 - \beta \times (1-\rho/\rho_c))} \]

Dual-beta model: Two effect scales depending on measurement type:

Parameter	Value	Context
β_SNIa	0.001	Integrated effect along line of sight
β_H0	0.82	Direct local measurement (z ≈ 0)

Effect by environment (with β = β_H0):

Environment	ρ/ρ_c	H/H_CMB	Interpretation
Deep void	0.3	+8.7%	Accelerated expansion
Local void (us)	0.7	+8.1%	H₀ = 73.0 km/s/Mpc
Critical density	1.0	0%	Standard ΛCDM
Cluster	17.5	-0.57%	Slightly slowed

Physical key: At critical density (ρ = ρ_c), TMT = ΛCDM exactly. This is why CMB and BAO are perfectly compatible.

Test	TMT Prediction	Observation	Ratio	Status
SNIa voids vs clusters	+0.57%	+0.46%	0.80	✅ VALIDATED
ISW supervoids	+18.2%	+17.9%	0.98	✅ VALIDATED
H₀ Tension	73.0 km/s/Mpc	73.0 km/s/Mpc	1.00	✅ RESOLVED
Planck CMB	Compatible	Compatible	1.00	✅ VALIDATED

Planck compatible: No conflict with primordial anisotropies (because ρ_CMB ≈ ρ_c)
ISW Effect: +18.2% amplification in supervoids (predicted) vs +17.9% (observed)
Status: ✅ VALIDATED
