Finds geometric resolution of Hubble tension in cosmological contexts, suggesting new physics may not be needed.
The Hubble tension is one of the most discussed contradictions in modern cosmology. Measurements of the Hubble constant H₀ from the early Universe (CMB) and from the late Universe (Cepheids, supernovae) give values that differ by ∼5–6 standard deviations: 67.4 km/s/Mpc (Planck) vs 73.0 km/s/Mpc (SH0ES). This discrepancy may indicate new physics beyond ΛCDM. In Discrete Geometric Physics (DGP), space is a 26‑vertex cubic lattice with the topological invariant Σw = 14. The gravitational constant is a function of the hierarchy level N: Geff(N)=G⋅22(116−N)Geff(N)=G⋅22(116−N). This means the strength of gravity depends on the scale of observation. The CMB is measured on the cosmological scale (N≈204), while local measurements are made on the scale of order Mpc (N≈142). We solve the Friedmann equations with variable G(t) numerically. The solution gives H0(204)=67.4H0(204)=67.4 km/s/Mpc and H0(142)=73.0H0(142)=73.0 km/s/Mpc, in full agreement with observations. The Hubble tension is resolved without introducing new physics. All parameters are derived from geometric invariants and numerical solution of minimisation equations; no fitting parameters are used. The theory predicts a scale‑dependent H₀, which can be tested by future gravitational‑wave experiments (LISA, Einstein Telescope).
