Summary
University of Ottawa researchers reported that their CCC+TL cosmology fits major observations without dark matter or dark energy and puts the Universe's age at 26.7 billion years.
The model attributes those effects to evolving physical constants, and the team said it had to rewrite Einstein- and Friedmann-based code rather than tweak standard ΛCDM algorithms.
Primordial element abundances, cosmic-chronometer expansion data and rotation curves for 175 SPARC galaxies all matched the model, while a Bullet Cluster test showed preliminary agreement.
At cosmic dawn, CCC+TL gives the Universe 4.6 billion years instead of roughly 300 million, offering more time for the mature early galaxies that challenge the standard model.
James Webb observations under the GLIMPSE program will test that claim by searching for objects above about redshift 50, where ΛCDM faces the strongest timing constraints.
