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.

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.
