Hypothesis on Cosmic Microwave Background as a Thermodynamic Temperature Gradient
Author: Morten Magnusson
Description:
This document presents a novel cosmological hypothesis proposing that the cosmic microwave background (CMB), observed at approximately 2.725 K, originates from a thermodynamic gradient driven by quantum vacuum energy fluctuations at the Planck scale. Building on Magnusson's Energy-Entropy Theory and the Grid-Higgs Framework, this hypothesis challenges conventional cosmology by proposing a cyclical universe model, avoiding singular events such as the Big Bang. The work includes detailed physical quantifications, a rigorous mathematical framework, clear empirical predictions, and outlines next steps for simulation-based and observational validation.
Key Contributions:
- Reinterpretation of the CMB as an active equilibrium state rather than residual radiation.
- Mathematical formulation connecting vacuum fluctuations at Planck scales to observed cosmological phenomena.
- Empirical predictions distinguishable from traditional cosmological models, providing clear avenues for observational verification through CMB anisotropy, gravitational wave signals, and galaxy clustering.
Applications: Ideal for cosmologists, astrophysicists, and theoretical physicists exploring alternatives to the standard ΛCDM cosmological model. This hypothesis aims to stimulate further discussion, simulations, and experimental efforts in fundamental cosmology.
