THE HUBBLE TENSION HAS A THEORETICAL RESOLUTION
A parameter-free cosmological framework predicts H\u2080 = 73.52 km\/s\/Mpc \u2014 independently consistent with a major 2026 observational study
Andorra \/ Brazil, May 2026<\/p>\n
THE PROBLEM<\/p>\n
For decades, local measurements of the Universe and early-Universe measurements have produced incompatible values for the Hubble constant H\u2080 \u2014 the rate of cosmic expansion. This discrepancy, known as the Hubble tension, has resisted every attempted explanation within the standard \u039bCDM model.<\/p>\n
THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK \u2014 Dead Universe Theory (DUT) The work is currently under peer review at an international physics journal. VERIFIED RESULTS \u2014 TON618 v1.1<\/p>\n The verified execution of the TON618 v1.1 open-source pipeline produces H\u2080(local) = 73.52 km\/s\/Mpc, H\u2080(CMB screened) = 67.39 km\/s\/Mpc, f\u03c3\u2088(z=0) = 0.4224, and \u03c7\u00b2_red \u2248 0.69 in the growth sector. DUT outperforms \u039bCDM by \u0394\u03c7\u00b2 = \u221269.85 across the two sectors where the theory makes direct parameter-free predictions \u2014 with zero free parameters.<\/p>\n INDEPENDENT OBSERVATIONAL CONSISTENCY<\/p>\n In April 2026, the H0DN Collaboration \u2014 37 authors using a community-built distance network of 57 million galaxies \u2014 independently reported H\u2080 = 73.50 \u00b1 0.81 km\/s\/Mpc, in significant disagreement with \u039bCDM+Planck at 5\u20137\u03c3. REPRODUCIBILITY<\/p>\n All results are generated by the fully open-source TON618 v1.1 pipeline available at github.com\/ExtractoDAO.

DUT proposes that the observable cosmos is a thermodynamically dissipative system governed by entropic gradients, described through the entropic deformation tensor \u039e\u03bc\u03bd = \u2207\u03bc\u2207\u03bdS \u2212 \u00bcg\u03bc\u03bd\u25a1S. The theory makes two direct parameter-free predictions \u2014 the local Hubble constant H\u2080 and the structure growth rate f\u03c3\u2088 \u2014 without any fitted parameters.
The growth index \u03b3 emerges from the thermodynamic closure condition \u03b3\u00b2 + \u03b3 \u2212 1 = 0, yielding \u03b3 = (\u221a5\u22121)\/2 \u2261 \u03c6\u207b\u00b9 \u2248 0.618 \u2014 not a fitted parameter, but a first-principles output of the theory.<\/p>\n
This result is remarkably consistent with the value published by DUT in November 2025 (TON618 v1.0), which predicted H\u2080(local) = 73.52 km\/s\/Mpc from purely theoretical grounds \u2014 six months before the H0DN measurement was released. The H0DN Collaboration reached their result through a completely independent observational methodology, with no knowledge of the DUT framework.<\/p>\n
