Relativity and Cosmology

    

General Relativity is the Global Solution

Authors: Christopher R. Brown

General relativity is a constrained theory built upon a handful of postulates including general covariance, diffeomorphism invariance, and the relational character of spacetime. These postulates are not optional features. They are the structural commitments that give general relativity physical meaning. When these commitments are enforced exactly, without supplementary assumptions, the theory selects a unique static geometry governed by a single measured scale. This geometry reproduces the linear Hubble law, the nonlinear curvature of the Type~Ia supernova distance modulus, and the CMB monopole temperature, without a cosmological constant and without dark energy. The geometry predicts zero redshift drift. Any expanding model predicts nonzero drift. The ELT-ANDES measurement is a clean, binary test.
