Abstract
We propose an alternative cosmological framework that eliminates the need for both dark matter (27% of universal mass-energy) and dark energy (68%) by recognizing that dynamic gravitational networks generate binding energy that manifests as effective mass via E=mc2.
In this model, all stars within a galaxy form a self-organizing N-body network whose emergent properties — including distributed binding, dynamic equilibrium, and coherent structure — account for observations currently attributed to dark matter. Galaxy rotation curves, the Bullet
Cluster, gravitational lensing anomalies, and the wide variation in ‘missing mass’ across galaxies (0% to 99.99%) are all explained through network binding energy without invoking exotic particles. Cosmic acceleration is explained by a ‘catapult mechanism’: the progressive release of Big Bang momentum as gravitational networks weaken with expansion, causing
objects to ‘become lighter’ as binding energy decreases and the same force produces greater acceleration.
We further propose that galaxies represent cores from multiple Big Bang events at different epochs, naturally explaining the JWST discovery of unexpectedly mature early galaxies and the Hubble tension.
The framework maintains perfect energy conservation, requires no fine-tuning, and operates as an eternal cyclic cosmology. We present ten testable predictions using existing astronomical data from SDSS, Gaia, and JWST, several of which can be evaluated immediately through database analysis. By Occam’s Razor, a model explaining 95% of the ‘mysterious universe’ through known physics operating in complex systems warrants
serious investigation before continued investment in undetected exotic particles.
