Overview

This repository contains the complete manuscript, supplementary information, figures, and analysis code for the paper submitted to Nature Astronomy (March 2026).

What this paper solves

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:

  1. 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).

  2. 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
  3. 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

Key Results

Parameter Value Dataset
Λ (1.117 ± 0.022) × 10⁻⁵² m⁻² Joint 6-dataset

Ten Falsifiable Predictions

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