Gravitational and Cosmological Spectral Shift with Remote Quantum States

TL;DR

This paper introduces a quantum-based framework for cosmological spectral shifts, predicting redshift, lensing, and galaxy rotation effects that challenge standard models and eliminate the need for dark matter.

Contribution

It develops a novel coordinate system for Friedmann Cosmologies enabling quantum theory over large distances, leading to new predictions that align with observations without dark matter.

Findings

Explains supernova redshifts without a cosmological constant.

Accounts for Pioneer blueshift via a new redshift component.

Suggests galaxy rotation curves can be explained without dark matter.

Abstract

A class of coordinate systems is found for Friedmann Cosmologies with local gravity such that it is possible to formulate quantum theory over astronomical and cosmological distances. When light from distance objects is treated as a quantum motion, new predictions are found for cosmological redshift and lensing. Good agreement is found between predictions and supernova redshifts for a closed Friedmann Cosmology with no cosmological constant and expanding at half the rate of the standard model. A previously unmodelled component of cosmological redshift accounts for the anomalous Pioneer blueshift, and for the flattening of galaxy rotation curves simulating a MONDian law. Distant lenses have a quarter of the mass required by standard general relativity. Missing mass can be accounted by a massive neutrino. CDM is not required.
