Vacuum Structure and Cosmology

Modern cosmology describes the universe using an expanding spacetime filled with matter, dark matter, and dark energy. These components are introduced to reconcile theory with observation.

Quarkbase Cosmology adopts a different approach: cosmology is the study of large-scale vacuum structure. The universe is organized, not filled.

Cosmology Without a Creation Singularity

In Quarkbase Cosmology, there is no need for a primordial creation singularity. The vacuum is eternal as a physical medium.

Cosmic evolution reflects changes in vacuum organization and compactation, not the expansion of empty space from nothing.

Axiom:
The universe evolves through reorganization of vacuum structure, not through expansion of emptiness.

Formation of Large-Scale Structure

Filaments, clusters, and voids are manifestations of different regimes of vacuum compactation.

Higher-order compactations organize surrounding vacuum, guiding matter into coherent structures. Matter traces vacuum structure because it is itself a vacuum organization.

Cosmic Expansion Reinterpreted

Observed redshift does not require metric expansion of space. It reflects changes in vacuum propagation properties across large-scale structures.

Light propagating through evolving vacuum structure accumulates systematic shifts, producing the observed cosmological redshift.

No Dark Energy Required

Accelerated expansion is commonly attributed to dark energy.

In Quarkbase Cosmology, apparent acceleration arises from large-scale gradients in vacuum structure, not from a repulsive energy component.

The Role of the Neutrino Quarkbase

The smallest unit of vacuum compactation is the neutrino quarkbase (N=1). All higher structures, from particles to galaxies, are assemblies of quarkbases.

Cosmology is therefore the collective behavior of vast quarkbase assemblies organizing the vacuum.

Consistency With Local Physics

The same vacuum principles govern neutrino oscillations, gravity, and cosmology. There is no scale separation between microphysics and cosmology.

Conclusion

Cosmology does not require dark components or primordial singularities.

It requires recognizing the vacuum as a physical medium whose structure evolves through compactation.
