2.0 INTRODUCTION: ABSTRACT:

By applying the principles of Quantum Mass-Energy (QME) theory, the In this research paper, we first calculate a theoretical QME mass- energy Lamda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) parameters based Hubble vastly different Hubble constant (H O) values from various sources such as satellite measurements, space telescope observations, QME theory, constant of H O(QME) = 67.56 (km/s)/Mpc. We categorize Hubble LIGO, BOA, WMAP, and sky surveys are scientifically reconciled into a constant values from multiple sources into three main camps namely: (i) Quantum Mass-Energy (QME) theory HO calculations using Friedman single true universal value of H O(Universal)=67.76 (km/s)/Mpc. The various Hubble constant values are categorized into three main classes equations, (ii) satellite Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation mass-energy based measurements and surveys, and (iii) namely: (i) QME Theory calculated H O(QME), (ii) Satellites’ space telescope Cepheid + SN-1a observations of measurements derived HO(S), and (iii) Space Telescopes’ observations stars that pulsate radially with well defined diameter, temperature, based HO(ST). First a QME theoretical Hubble constant is calculated and luminosity variations. HO(QME) = 67.56 (km/s)/Mpc. This QME theoretical Hubble constant value is shown to closely match the latest Planck satellite 2018 CMB However, irrespective of the different approaches, all three measurements derived final value of HO(S)=67.66 (km/s)/Mpc. QME methodologies should independently converge on a single Hubble theory, is then applied to reconcile differences between the constant value with tight standard deviations. Based on the latest Hubble+Gaia space telescopes’ HO(ST)=73.52 (km/s)/Mpc observations 2018 published Hubble constant results, the delta between the (Cepheid+Super Nova-1a) results versus the Planck satellite HO(S) satellites and the space telescopes results instead of converging has measurements (CMB) derived results. Specifically, a QME space diverged further increasing the tension. The latest 2018 Hubble telescope’s Hubble constant transformation equation is developed that constant values from satellite (CMB mass-energy measurements) and includes QME theory non-linear mass-energy (β), and luminosity space telescopes (Cepheid observations) are 67.66 (km/s)/Mpc and source distance (δ) adjustment factors. The QME space telescope’s 73.52 (km/s)/Mpc respectively. This currently represents an transformation equation is applied to reconcile Hubble+Gaia space irreconcilable Hubble constant values’ difference of 7.97% between telescopes data with satellite measurements results which reduces the the space telescopes Cepheid variables versus the satellite CMB mean percent error from 7.97% to ≤ 0.03%. Overall, further calculations [8]. convergence and reconciliation is achieved amongst the three classes by deriving a single universal Hubble constant value with an average As stated above the satellite measurements and the space telescope observations based independent methods produce Hubble constant value of HO(Universal)=67.76 (km/s)/Mpc. This single universal Hubble constant value matches the QME theoretical value, satellites measured values that differ by as much as about 8%. This Hubble constant value average value, and space telescope observations based average value tension is resolved by developing and applying QME theory non-linear with deltas of 0.30%, 0.87%, and 0.03% respectively. mass-energy (β) plus Cepheid Solid Spherical Iron Core (SSIC) surface luminosity dispersion (δ) factors.

Consequently, achieving QME theory based reconciliation between the 1.0 BACKGROUND: Hubble+Gaia space telescopes’ (Cepheid+SN-1a) observations and the Hubble constant is the single most important number in astrophysics Planck satellite (CMB) measurements based results leads to a mean that estimates the universe’s current rate of expansion. For the past 80 percent error of ≤ 0.03%. years, there has been little consensus or agreement on a single unified Finally, we collect pertinent Hubble constant historical values from final value for the Hubble constant (H O). Historically, Georges Lemaitre multiple sources and derive a single unified universal Hubble constant [1] was the first to provide a measurement based H = 625 (km/s)/Mpc O value of H O(Universal) = 67.76 (km/s)/Mpc. in 1927. in 1929, provided Ho = 500 (km/s)/Mpc based on Hooker telescope observations [2],[3],[4]. Both values were off by 3.0 METHODOLOGY: an order of magnitude. It was Allan Sandage in 1958, who was the first to estimate a realistic value of HO = 75 (km/s)/Mpc [5]. In 2012, the We apply the scientific research methodology as follows: WMAP (9 year study) published improved value of H = 69.32 ± 0.80 O 1.

These two very different methodologies are due to space telescopes that observe Cepheid luminosity and its red shift variability, while the satellite measurement studies are based on the CMB and 4.2 Planck satellite CMB measurements based Hubble ΛCDM mass-energy composition critical density parameters. These Constant (H O) : differing values are examined below. The most recent final Hubble constant value reported by the Planck

The β adjustment factor is in addition to the k-correction; it accounts From Cepheid Iron Core surface to the Cepheid external surface the for relativistic, mass-energy, and non-linear curvature effects. For luminosity (L O) dispersion not fully observed by telescopes is given by: example, the Hubble time t H is defined as the inverse of Hubble constant or t H = 1/H O [32]. If the expansion of the universe had been From QME Reverse Path Gravity-scaling Laws [13][15] we have: linear the comes out to be 14.4 billion years. R = 0.17 x R (7) However, from ΛCDM model we know that the expansion is non-linear C S and the correct age of the universe is 13.8 billion years. From the ratio To calculate Solid Spherical Iron Core (SSIC) surface gravity from the of universe age difference we can obtain a dimensionless mass-energy second QME/RPG law [13] we have : factor of (13.8/14.4) = 0.9583 or 0.96. This adjustment factor is 2 already part of the ΛCDM mass-energy model and will also be applied gC = g S * [(R S/R C) – 1] (8) to the space telescope Cepheid linear observations as gC = true core surface gravity flux generation point Non-linear mass-energy adjustment factor β = 0.96 (6) gS = observed gravity at celestial sphere external surface RC = SSIC 17% proportional iron core radius 4.3.2 Luminosity Source Distance Adjustment factor (δ): RS = celestial sphere radius from sphere center to external surface The QME theory [10],[13] states that every gravity generating celestial Inverse square law equally applies to gravity, luminosity, light, sphere has an embedded 17% proportional radius Solid Spherical Iron radiation, magnetism, electromagnetism, sound, and heat dispersion. Core (SSIC). These SSICs generate gravitation flux, radiation, heat, and Since Inverse Square Law equally applies to luminosity and per QME luminosity in stars from their inner core surfaces. This flux disperses theory luminosity disperses out from the Cepheid core surfaces the and depletes as a function of Inverse Square Law. The QME Reverse RPG equation can be translated as the Reverse Path Luminosity-scaling Path Gravity-scaling (RPG) methodology [13] accurately calculates the (RPL) equation as follows: true flux magnitude, by applying the Inverse Square Law starting from 2 LC = L S * [(R S/R C) – 1] (9) the celestial sphere external surface and then scaling back to the SSIC’s surface. Therefore, luminosity (L C) for stars such as the Cepheid stars LC = true core surface luminosity flux generation point starts at their inner SSIC surface and not at the their external surface. LS = observed luminosity from Cepheid external surface The effective distance between the SSIC surface to the celestial sphere Substitute from (7) above external surface is 4.88 times the proportional SSIC core radius. 2 2 Similarly, the difference between the luminosity or intensity of flux LC = LS * [(R S/0.17 x RS) – 1] = LS * [(1/0.17) – 1] between the celestial sphere SSIC surface and its external surface as 2 2 LC = LS * [(1/0.17) – 1] = LS * (4.88) = LS * 23.837 derived and explained in the next section is δ = 0.96 [10],[13]. Luminosity Source Distance RPL adjustment factor δ = 0.96 LC = LS * 23.837 (10)

From (10), strength of luminosity at core surface: LC = LS *23.837 Fraction of luminosity observed by the space telescope:

(LS / L C) = (1.0/23.837) = 0.0419 Normalizing for luminosity flux L C = 1.0 QME RPL adjustment factor: δ = (1 – 0.0419) = 0.9581

Luminosity source distance adjustment factor δ = 0.96 (11)

From Hubble Law we know v = H O D. However, if true D’ = D+d, that implies when velocity (v) is fixed and D’ increases then proportionality constant H O has to decrease to balance the equation. Also, from Inverse square law: gC ∝ L C ∝ (1/H O) or HO ≡ 1/ L C

Step one, from (6) apply non-linear mass-energy factor: β = 0.96 Adjustments can be summarized as:

HO(ST) = 73.52 x 0.96 = 70.58 (km/s)/Mpc HO (adjusted ST) = β x δ x H O (ST) Step two, from (11)apply luminosity source distance adjustment factor Total HO adjustment factors = β * δ = 0.9583 x 0.9580 = 0.9181 = 0.92 δ = 0.96 HO(ST) = 70.58 x 0.96 = 67.76 (km/s)/Mpc In order to reduce the number of significant digits based minor round- off differences, we will use 0.92 as the adjustment factor coefficient for the space telescope transformation equation as follows:

β * δ HO (adjusted) = 0.92 x H O (Space Telescopes/Cepheid)

HO = 0.92 x H O (ST) (12)

After applying the QME mass-energy adjustments to the latest 2018

Hubble+Gaia space telescopes value of H O(ST) = 73.52 (km/s)/Mpc result, we obtain an adjusted H O(STc) = 67.64 (km/s)/Mpc.

The QME based H O(QME) = 67.56 (km/s)/Mpc result agrees with both the Planck satellite CMB H O(S) = 67.66 (km/s)/Mpc and the adjusted Hubble+Gaia space telescopes’ results H O(STc) = 67.64 (km/s)/Mpc with small mean errors of ≤ 0.15% and ≤ 0.27% respectively. A single consolidated universal Hubble constant value is established HO(Universal) = 67.76 (km/s)/Mpc. Analyses to obtain this universal H O value is shown in the results section.

5.0 RESULTS:

The Hubble constant (H O) quantifies the rate of universe expansion and is therefore the most critical scientific number that requires single value agreement from multiple independent sources. The scientific community is split around two main clusters of HO = 67.0 (km/s)/Mpc and H O = 73.0 (km/s)/Mpc [8]. The vastly different H O values published from measurements (i.e. satellites, LIGO), observations (i.e. Cepheid, Super Nova-1a), theory, and sky surveys (i.e. BOA) currently range between a low of HO = 65.0 (km/s)/Mpc to a high of HO = 75.0 (km/s)/Mpc. This large variation in the Hubble constant values has been a source of convergence tension between the various competing camps. Analyzing the various Hubble constant values shows obvious satellite measurements clustering around H O = 67.0 (km/s)/Mpc and space telescope Cepheid observations clustering around HO = 73.0 (km/s)/Mpc respectively. In the Tables below we provide results for theoretical H O(QME) comparisons with: (1) Satellite measurements H O(S), (2) Space Telescope observations H O(ST), and (3) Single unified value universal H O(Universal).

5.1 QME theoretical H O comparison with Satellites, Gravity Waves, and BAO measurement based Hubble constant: In order to fully reconcile these differing Hubble constant results we first calculate the QME theoretical Hubble constant H O(QME), and then we compare this theoretical HO(QME) value with widely published H O values. The QME theoretical Hubble constant calculated value of H O(QME) = 67.56 (km/s)/Mpc is shown to closely match the latest 2018 Planck satellite CMB measurements based final value of H O(S) = 67.66 (km/s)/Mpc. Table-1 shows the comparisons between the satellite CMB measurements versus the QME theory calculated value with a mean percent error of ≤ - 1.17%.

5.2 QME theoretical H O comparison with Space Telescopes Cepheid+NS-1a observations based Hubble constant:

The space telescope Cepheid+NS-1a observations based Hubble constant values cluster around mid seventies. The latest 2018 Hubble+Gaia space telescope Hubble constant value is HO(ST) = 73.52 (km/s)/Mpc. When compared to the theoretical value of H O(QME) = 67.56 (km/s)/Mpc the difference is -8.82%. The average of all space telescope sources combined is HO(STavg) = 73.63 (km/s)/Mpc, giving a 8.98% difference when compared to the QME theoretical value. In order to reconcile this nearly 9% difference, the QME theory mass-energy non-linear adjustment factor

(β) and RPL luminosity dispersion correction factor (δ) are applied to all of the space telescope values. Applying the expression H O = 0.92 x H O(ST) to all of the space telescope values reconciles the nearly 9.0% difference with the satellite CMB measurement results. After applying the QME adjustments factors to all of the space telescopes, a reconciliation of results between Hubble+Gaia and combined average of all space telescopes is achieved with mean percent errors of ≤ 0.12% and ≤ 0.27% respectively. See Table-2 below for detailed results:

5.3 QME theoretical H O comparison against all categories (Space Telescopes, Satellites, Gravity waves, BOA survey) :

In Table-1 above, Hubble constant result comparisons showed the theoretically calculated value of HO(QME) = 67.56 (km/s)/Mpc that matched closely with both the latest Planck satellite 2018 final CMB measured value of H O(Planck) = 67.66 (km/s)/Mpc with a difference of only 0.015%. This cumulative difference including all satellites, LIGO, and BOA sources was ≤ 1.17%. In Table-2, the difference between the QME Hubble constant value and the latest 2018 Hubble+Gaia space telescope was very wide at 8.82%. Similarly, the large difference between HO(QME) and the average of all space telescopes was 8.98%. However, applying the non-linear mass-energy and the QME RPL adjustments reduced these differences into very tight results agreement. For example, the difference between the QME Hubble constant value and the latest 2018 Hubble+Gaia space telescope adjusted value reduced from 8.82% down to only 0.12%. Similarly, the overall average difference from all space telescopes reduced down from 8.98% to only 0.27%. Therefore, by applying the two adjustments factors to all research space telescopes (Cepheid observations), the Hubble constant results of HO(ST AVG ) = 67.74 (km/s)/Mpc achieve across the board reconciliation with all research satellite (CMB measurements) Hubble constant results of H O(S AVG ) = 68.35 (km/s)/Mpc with mean percent error of ≤ 0.9%.

Having achieved Hubble constant value reconciliation between the space telescopes (Cepheid observations) and the satellite (CMB measurements), the next logical step is to derive and establish an overall single unified universal Hubble value. In this section, we will calculate a single universal Hubble constant value consolidated from all categories including satellites, space telescopes, QME theory, LIGO, BOA, and sky survey studies. As shown in Table-3 below, the single universal Hubble constant value of H O(Universal) = 67.76 (km/s)/Mpc is computed from all categories combined. The QME Hubble constant value HO(QME) = 67.56 (km/s)/Mpc compares very well with this single universal Hubble constant value of H O(Universal) = 67.76 (km/s)/Mpc with a small error of 0.29%. The single universal Hubble constant value of H O(Universal) = 67.76 (km/s)/Mpc from all sources including satellite measurements, space telescope observations, QME theory, LIGO measurements, BOA, and sky surveys also achieves the desired reconciliation between the satellites (CMB measurements) and the space telescopes (Cepheid+NS-1a observations). Complete detailed Hubble constant values’ comparisons between all categories, sources, and research data is provided in Appendix-A.
