Tier 1: Existing Data
10 Tests, $0 CostThese 10 tests use publicly available datasets. No new hardware, no new observations. Just analysis. This is where Synchronism should be tested first.
TEST-01: SPARC Environment Dependence
$0 / 6 weeksData: SPARC (175 galaxies)
Prediction: Rotation curve residuals correlate with local galaxy density
Kill: No correlation between residuals and environment at 2σ
TEST-02: Wide Binary Density Dependence
$0 / 6 monthsData: Gaia DR3
Prediction: Wide binary anomaly depends on local stellar density
Kill: Anomaly independent of local density
TEST-03: ALFALFA-SDSS TFR Scatter
$0 / 3 monthsData: ALFALFA + SDSS (14,585 galaxies)
Prediction: TFR residual captures all intrinsic scatter (51% improvement)
Kill: TFR residual explains <20% of scatter
TEST-04: BAO Coherence Modulation
$0 / 6 monthsData: DESI, SDSS DR17, Euclid
Prediction: BAO peak shifts ~10⁻⁴ between high/low-density regions
Kill: BAO identical everywhere to 10⁻⁵ precision
TEST-05: RAR Environment Partition
$0 / 2 monthsData: SPARC + density catalogs
Prediction: RAR scatter shows NP2 environment dependence (p = 5×10⁻⁶)
Kill: RAR scatter independent of Hubble type / environment
TEST-06: CDM σ_int with BIG-SPARC
$0 (data) / 1–2 years (data availability)Data: Future resolved rotation curves
Prediction: σ_int remains at 0.086 dex with larger sample
Kill: σ_int > 0.12 dex with N > 1000
TEST-07: Cosmic Interference Patterns
$0 / 6 monthsData: SDSS, DES, DESI surveys
Prediction: Galaxy cluster separations show oscillatory modulation at λ ~ 500 Mpc
Kill: No oscillations above 3σ out to 2000 Mpc
TEST-08: Freeman Law Derivation Test
$0 / 1 monthData: SPARC surface brightness data
Prediction: Σ₀ emerges from first principles with <5% error
Kill: Derived Σ₀ differs from observed by >15%
TEST-09: BTFR Exponent Universality
$0 / 3 monthsData: Multi-band TFR datasets
Prediction: BTFR exponent n ≈ 2.2 universal across bands
Kill: Exponent varies by >0.3 across bands
TEST-10: Dwarf Galaxy DM Dominance
$0 / 2 monthsData: LITTLE THINGS + SPARC dwarfs
Prediction: DM fraction → 100% for M_bar < 10⁸ M☉
Kill: Baryon-dominated dwarfs below 10⁸ M☉ exist
Recommended Start
Tests 01, 02, and 04 are the most decisive. They test genuinely novel predictions (not reparametrizations) and can discriminate between Synchronism, MOND, and ΛCDM. If all three fail, the framework's cosmological predictions are dead.
