For nearly a century, modern cosmology has assumed a single hot, dense beginning and then worked backwards from today’s universe to guess what the initial conditions “must have been.” Successive Collision Theory (SCT) takes the opposite approach: it starts with the tested mathematics of General Relativity and Special Relativity, but replaces that one untested assumption with a concrete, dynamical pre‑recombination history and offers a mathematically rigorous solution to the most pressing issues in cosmology, wrought with falsifiable predictions.

General Relativity does not predict inflating bubble universes. It tells us to predict immense nested structures where celestial bodies and groups of bodies are all playing follow the leader(s) in perpetuity, creating larger and larger structures.

Special Relativity defines the limit an object with mass can be accelerated to within our nested succession of larger and larger parent comoving frames of reference, but has no bearing on the relative speeds that two immense structures might see when they intersect the same relative area of spacetime.

Successive Collision Theory can account for all 231 currently documented tensions with ΛCDM without adding a single new field or free parameter. If SCT is correct, we have not just fixed a few anomalies; we have replaced a starting story based on fear with a physically motivated one, and in doing so, turned a long list of “cosmic coincidences” into inevitable outcomes of the same underlying dynamics.

Besides revealing the long-overlooked culprits behind dark matter, dark energy, and our Big Bang via updates to the field equations of general relativity, a third change shows how quark degeneracy pressure via LQCD provides a range of equations of state to fend off gravitational collapse and replace the singularity with a polyquark.

A range of solutions all tied to the basic premise of starting the foundations of physics not with speculation, but the premise of eternally infinite 4D Minkowski spacetime.
