SCT Predictions — A Timeline of Confirmation

A single ordered list of every distinct empirical prediction of Successive Collision Theory drawn from the From Chaos to Consilience preprint series. Confirmed predictions appear first, ordered by the year the strongest supporting observation was reported. Pending predictions follow, ordered by the earliest realistic date at which the decisive test becomes possible. Each entry is written so that an astrophysicist can read it standalone — what the claim is, the SCT mechanism behind it, the observable, the current observational status, and the criterion that would falsify it.
