Observational analysis reveals Hubble constant alignment and Big Bounce in cosmological models, indicating a unified scalar-tensor approach may explain dark matter effects.
We present a single-scale scalar–tensor framework, denoted MMA–DMF, which aims to provide a unified description of early-universe dynamics, late-time acceleration, dark-matter-like effects, fermion mass generation, and singularity resolution. All new physics is controlled by a single fundamental scale M∼100 TeVM ~ 100\ TeVM∼100 TeV, with no new stable dark matter particles. The model contains a real scalar field ϕφϕ with Galileon and Gauss–Bonnet couplings and a covariant trace-dependent coupling to matter. This generates a screened fifth force, a non-singular Big Bounce, an Early-X component that lifts the Hubble constant to H0≃72 km s−1Mpc−1H_0 72\ km s⁻¹Mpc⁻¹H0≃72 km s−1Mpc−1, a late-time accelerated era with a future turnaround (Rebounce), and a geometric flavor sector producing the fermion mass hierarchy and neutrino masses. Using the full ancillary dataset (cosmological pipelines, hydrodynamic simulations, non-linear structure, non-perturbative black-hole solver and microphysical scripts), we show that MMA–DMF passes a large catalogue of tests from the Planck/UV regime down to the O(100 TeV)O(100\ TeV)O(100 TeV) scale: QNEC, ghost absence, geometric locking, BBN, Hubble tension, S8S_8S8, galaxy rotation curves, ultra-diffuse galaxies, cluster mergers (Bullet Cluster, El Gordo) and regular black holes. We also present the mathematical structure behind the absence of fundamental strings and closed timelike loops within this framework.
