Testing the 'universe born inside a rotating black hole' prediction against 8.5M DESI galaxies (result: null, excludes the literature amplitudes)

Catalogue · N2

Abstract

Track C1 of the 2026-09-02 portfolio restructure (directive R3): P4′ is the largest test to date of Popławski's galaxy-spin-axis prediction (the observational claim the black-hole-universe / torsion-bounce model is invoked to explain), not a detached data product. Every quantitative result is quoted verbatim from the reviewed P4 v1.0.274 and P5 v0.1.147 sources, or is a deterministic output of the new committed exclusion script; the catalog pipeline was not re-run.

Result summary

null8,474,531 DESI Legacy DR8 galaxies catalogued; primary real-space chirality-dipole null on 890,069 quality-controlled high-confidence rows (887,472 support the fit): z_mom=+0.635, one-sided rank p=0.238
derivedNew Sec. 5 — 'The black-hole-universe prediction and its exclusion': Popławski's papers (arXiv:1007.0587, 1111.4595, 1410.3881, 1910.10819) state only a qualitative preferred-axis alignment tendency, not a computed dipole amplitude
nullUnder the minimal closure A_pred≈η, the catalog's A₉₅ᵒᵇˢ≈0.98% sensitivity floor excludes η>0.98% at ≥95% coverage — 2–20× below the ~7–33% amplitudes reported by Longo (2011) and Shamir (2012, 2020, 2022, 2025)

Readiness is publication readiness only — science, evidence, review convergence, packaging, and Houston’s final sign-off. Venue and submission are tracked separately below, and never subtract from this number (directive P).
