Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding RFT Cosmology
RFT Cosmology (Relativistic Field Theory Cosmology) is a unified framework where spacetime, gravity, and all fundamental interactions emerge from a single scalar field interacting with twistor space. It naturally explains cosmic structure without requiring dark matter or dark energy.
ΛCDM assumes invisible dark matter to explain cosmic dynamics. RFT shows that changes in gravity's behavior naturally emerge from field self-screening — no extra dark matter is needed.
Yes. RFT matches the observed CMB power spectrum within 1σ error margins, without invoking dark matter.
The scalaron is the core field in RFT. It's a dynamic scalar field that shapes spacetime geometry and matter interactions through entropy gradients.
No. In RFT, time emerges from the flow of energy and entropy, rather than being a built-in background structure.
Instead of requiring dark matter halos, RFT predicts modifications in gravitational strength at galactic scales due to the scalar field's self-screening properties.
FRG-Flow visualizes how gravitational couplings behave at high energies. RFT shows a natural ultraviolet (UV) fixed point, meaning it remains mathematically consistent even at extreme energies — unlike ΛCDM.
Yes! Visitors can adjust parameters, see real-time effects, and compare RFT predictions against ΛCDM and MOND models across multiple cosmic phenomena.
Yes. RFT predicts gravitational wave echoes at detectable amplitudes and time delays — a key upcoming observational test.

Technical Questions
Advanced explanations with mathematical details
Because the R² piece can be rewritten as a benign scalaron φ rather than a Weyl-squared ghost. All 2→2 amplitudes we calculated obey the optical theorem and show only the physical poles:
— no negative-norm states, no spin-2 ghost. Lattice reflection-positivity tests and conformal-bootstrap bounds agree.
The Starobinsky-like scalaron potential
gives slow-roll
→ for N ≈ 55: ns ≈ 0.965, r ≈ 0.004 — dead-center in Planck-2018's 1σ ellipse and an r value BICEP / CMB-S4 could hit next decade.
In RFT the scalaron self-screens below a characteristic acceleration
so the effective Newtonian potential becomes
The extra r-1/2 term flattens vc(r) = √(r·∂rΦ) automatically — no exotic halo needed. Observed rotation curves match with just the baryonic M.
Yes: a Planck-scale twistor core partly reflects the ring-down, giving a pulse train delayed by
for a 30M⊙ remnant. First echo amplitude is 𝒪(1%) of the main strain — just at the O5 detection threshold and easily within Cosmic Explorer / ET.
The unified action
leaves the SM intact, so mW,Z,H,t stay at 0.1% precision, while the scalaron drives inflation and today's dark energy. A scalaron-assisted seesaw with MR ~ 1014 GeV predicts
— bang on PDG-2024 values and a Σmν ≈ 0.06 eV that CMB-S4 will probe soon.
