Research · Track C — DESI data products
What do DESI's public galaxy and spectral data show when tested directly against the rotating-black-hole-universe spin-axis prediction and scanned for early-universe anomalies — and what does that say about bounce vs. inflation?
Lead result
The largest test to date of Popławski's galaxy-spin-axis prediction, run on the 887,472-galaxy high-confidence subset of the 8.47M-galaxy DESI parent catalog with a void-environment cross-check, is a null: the catalog's own sensitivity floor excludes alignment fractions η > 0.98% at ≥95% coverage — a factor of 2–20× below the amplitudes reported in the literature it tests.
nullChannels & tests
| Channel | Prediction | Current data | Evidence | Receipt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy spin-axis alignment (chirality dipole) | A preferred large-scale spin axis per the rotating-black-hole-universe model. | Null: z_mom=+0.635, rank p=0.238 on 890,069 QC'd galaxies; A_95 ≈ 0.98% exclusion. | null | paper-4p source |
| Early-universe anomaly map (C2, redirected) | Anomalies that strain single-field inflation (over-massive high-z galaxies, PNG, isolated early SMBHs). | Answered as a data release, not yet a discriminator paper: anomaly catalogue v2, 1,244 science targets, no reference class clears the confirmed-class bar (best match 4.2×). | open | ANOMALY_CATALOGUE_RELEASE_v2 |

Boundary
P4′'s exclusion bears on the rotating-black-hole-universe model's spin-axis claim only — it is not itself a bounce-cosmology detection. P3 is a provenance/public-ID data release, not a validated anomaly-rate or discovery claim; P1B (namaster-proof) is a software/verification result, not a physical measurement.
