Towards a Unified Cosmology: The Universe as a Self-Organizing Particle System
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This work presents an alternative cosmological model in which the universe is described as a dynamic system of particles that emerge from the quantum vacuum and self-organize according to simple scaling laws. The model combines two approaches: a **microscopic model based on a network of energy vortices** with chirality, and a **macroscopic model that reduces the dynamics to four algebraic equations** relating the number of particles, volume, energy density, and the Hubble constant to time. The model accurately reproduces the observed Hubble constant (H0 ≈ 70 km/s/Mpc) and the age of the universe (≈ 13.8 × 10⁹ years) without the need for dark matter or dark energy. The pair-creation energy is calibrated using the Higgs boson mass (125 GeV), thereby connecting cosmology with particle physics. The model predicts that the universe is heading toward a ”heat death,” where expansion halts, density decreases, and no active processes remain. Furthermore, it suggests that the same scaling laws could apply across different scales, from the universe down to atoms and black holes.
