4. Conceptual and Theoretical Advances
The BMF model achieves several conceptual breakthroughs:
Bypasses the initial singularity problem through non-singular quantum blinking genesis.
Unifies information theory with spacetime geometry, embedding entropy and interference directly into the fabric of cosmic evolution.
Provides alternatives to inflation for explaining early structure, offering robust mechanisms for void formation, matter clustering, and anisotropies.
Integrates the complexity of cosmic evolution with a minimalistic ontological assumption set: no extra dimensions, no fine-tuned scalar fields, and no ad hoc inflationary epochs.
VII.2. Outlook and Hypotheses for Future Testing
The Blink--Multilayer--Fractal (BMF) Universe model opens promising avenues for both observational and theoretical cosmology. In this final section, we outline a series of falsifiable predictions and propose targeted directions for future research that will be crucial for testing, refining, or potentially falsifying the BMF paradigm.
1. Falsifiable Predictions from the BMF Framework
The model yields a suite of predictions that are accessible to current and forthcoming observational campaigns:
(a) Radial Variation in Hubble Parameters
Prediction: A measurable gradient in the Hubble constant (H) across radial shells centered on cosmic voids or topological layers.
Test: Precision redshift-distance measurements by missions like Euclid, Roman Space Telescope, and JWST across different sky sectors and depths.
(b) Redshift Drift Without Cosmic Inflation
Prediction: A redshift drift pattern deviating from standard CDM expectations due to nested topological curvature evolution.
Test: Decadal redshift drift surveys via high-resolution spectroscopy (e.g., with the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) or SKA), looking for sub-ppm variations in Lyman-alpha forest or galaxy absorption features.
(c) Large-Scale Anisotropies Aligned with Topological Layers
Prediction: Preferred directions in cosmic microwave background (CMB) anomalies, galactic alignments, and void clustering corresponding to the multilayer structure.
Test: Cross-correlation analyses of Planck, LiteBIRD, and SPHEREx CMB datasets with galaxy spin alignment maps and cosmic void catalogs.
