This repository contains the complete manuscript, supplementary information, figures, and analysis code for the paper submitted to Nature Astronomy (March 2026).
The Hubble tension — a 4–6σ discrepancy between CMB-inferred H₀ ≈ 67 km/s/Mpc (Planck) and distance-ladder H₀ ≈ 73 km/s/Mpc (SH0ES) — is one of the most prominent open problems in cosmology.
This work:
-
Derives Λ from first principles via the Cohen–Kaplan–Nelson holographic UV–IR collapse bound. The derivation is a theorem with zero free parameters: ρ_crit/ρ_P = (3/8π)(l_P/r_H)² — explaining the notorious 10¹²² cosmological constant problem as a wrong degree-of-freedom counting (volume vs. surface).
-
Fits six independent datasets simultaneously across six orders of magnitude in physical scale, using a single open-source pipeline:
Dataset Points Pantheon+SH0ES Type Ia supernovae 1,701 DES-SN5YR distance moduli 1,820 DESI DR2 BAO measurements 12 SPT-3G TT/TE/EE CMB bandpowers 196 ACT DR6 TT/TE/EE CMB bandpowers 122 SPARC galaxy rotation curves 175 Total 3,851 -
Produces the result:
- Λ = (1.117 ± 0.022) × 10⁻⁵² m⁻²
- H₀ = 68.09 ± 0.50 km/s/Mpc
- Ω_m = 0.3101 ± 0.0048
- χ²/dof = 0.9662 across 3,851 data points

- DESI Year-5 BAO will find H₀_eff = 68.0–68.5 km/s/Mpc
- Euclid WL will measure Ω_m = 0.310 ± 0.002
- Simons Observatory Nₑff constraint will rule out early dark energy at > 3σ
- ACT DR7 H₀ will be ≤ 68.5 km/s/Mpc
- JWST Cepheid re-calibration will lower SH0ES H₀ by ≥ 2 km/s/Mpc
- Einstein Telescope will confirm GW H₀ = 68 ± 1 km/s/Mpc
- SPT-3G final power spectra will confirm lens amplitude consistent with Planck
- DESI Year-5 will find w = −1.000 ± 0.020 (no dark energy dynamics)
- SPARC-II extensions will maintain RAR with scatter < 0.05 dex
- Holographic dark energy (Li 2004) will remain disfavoured at ΔBIC > 50
