- The multiverse problem: Eternal inflation implies unobservable universes, sacrificing predictive power. Â
These issues suggest CDM is incomplete, motivating alternatives where structure formation is intrinsically geometric, not stochastic. Â
Key Hypothesis: Resonant Spacetime EigenmodesÂ
We propose that spacetime itself is a resonant medium, with cosmic structures seeded by quantized eigenmodes determined by: Â
1. Boundary Conditions: Compact topology (e.g., 3-torus, Poincar dodecahedron) discretizes allowable modes. Â
2. Fractal Geometry: Hausdorff-measured Laplacian = generates self-similar density fluctuations. Â
3. Spiral Harmonics: Eigenfunctions of the form e^(im + lnr) imprint logarithmic spirals (Fig. 1). Â
Mechanism: Â
- Overdensities form at antinodes of standing waves (|| peaks). Â
- Voids correspond to nodes ( = 0). Â
- No fine-tuning: Structure scales are fixed by eigenfrequencies ( n/R), not random fluctuations. Â
