SSZ Predictions

Status: CANONICAL


Category 1: Confirmed Predictions (SSZ ≡ GR)

SSZ reproduces all confirmed GR weak-field results:

Prediction Value Confirmed by
GPS time correction 45.85 μs/day US Naval Observatory
Pound-Rebka redshift Δν/ν = 2.46×10⁻¹⁵ Pound & Rebka (1960)
Mercury perihelion 42.98"/century Observations
Eddington lensing 1.75" Eddington (1919)
Cassini Shapiro γ 1 (exact) Bertotti et al. (2003)
S2 Schwarzschild precession Confirmed GRAVITY/ESO (2020)

Category 2: Testable Predictions (SSZ ≠ GR)

Neutron Star Redshift (+13%)

z_SSZ = z_GR + 13%  (systematic excess)

Specific objects:

Object z_GR z_SSZ Testable with
PSR J0030+0451 0.219 0.328 NICER
PSR J0740+6620 0.346 0.413 NICER
PSR J0348+0432 0.380 0.457 XMM-Newton

Timeline: 2025–2027 (NICER data releases)

Pulsar Timing Delay (+30%)

Δt_SSZ = Δt_GR + 30%  (strong-field Shapiro enhancement)

Timeline: 2025–2028 (NANOGrav)

Black Hole Shadow (-1.3%)

d_SSZ = d_GR - 1.3%  (slightly smaller shadow)

Timeline: 2028–2030 (next-generation EHT)

Shapiro Delay Strong-Field (+12%)

Δt_SSZ = Δt_GR + 12%  (near compact objects)

Timeline: 2028+ (SKA)

Universal Intersection Point

r*/r_s = 1.594811  (decay/global D comparison)
r*/r_s = 1.386562  (saturation/local D comparison)

Timeline: Indirect, via NS observations. The test must declare which Xi form and observable mapping is being used before comparison.

Finite Horizon Values

D(r_s) = 0.555  (not 0)
z(r_s) = 0.802  (not ∞)

Timeline: Indirect, via gravitational wave ringdown (LISA, 2034+)


Category 3: Specific Object Predictions

G79.29+0.46 LBV Nebula

  • Repository: g79-cygnus-tests

Cygnus X-1

  • Modified X-ray timing predictions
  • Strong-field redshift enhancement
  • Repository: g79-cygnus-tests

13 Astronomical Objects
