Note: Absolute Background Clock (QTT), Time Tilt (QTT), Time Drift – by Law of Creation (QTT), and Time Dilation (GR) are all defined completely parameter-free in QTT. The way that we derived them is mentioned in other parts of the blog and also the updated version of the book, which hasn’t been uploaded yet as of this date (November 26).

In classical cosmology, the age of the Universe and the Hubble constant are treated as separate, tunable parameters—fitted from observations, subject to tension, and (until recently) in growing disagreement. But in Quantum Traction Theory (QTT), these two numbers are not free. They are locked together by a fundamental identity encoded in the deep geometry of time and space:

The Universe was born with a ledger.
And in that ledger, there is an identity of power, age, and matter that reveals a deeper lock on the cosmos.

🔒 Lock 1: The ABC Clock and the Coasting Identity

QTT begins with an Absolute Background Clock (ABC), a master tick that governs all physical unfolding. In the ABC frame, the Universe expands with a simple rule:

H_{\tau}(T) = \frac{1}{T}

This is called the coasting gauge. There is no acceleration or deceleration in the ABC frame—only steady, linear growth. The scale factor grows as a(T) \propto T, and the Hubble rate satisfies:

H_{\tau 0} = \frac{1}{T_0}

where T_0 is the absolute age of the Universe in ABC time.

🔒 Lock 2: The Baryon Ledger Identity

QTT doesn’t just predict cosmic expansion—it also fixes the total number of baryons. In the QTT ledger, the amount of spacetime volume “written” by baryons is matched to the ABC age T_0 via the so-called 18–Lock identity:

18\,\Omega_b^{\rm abs}(H_{\tau 0} T_0)^2 \simeq 1

With H_{\tau 0} = 1/T_0, this reduces to:

\boxed{\Omega_b^{\rm abs} \simeq \frac{1}{18}}

This gives the baryon fraction directly, without fitting cosmological data. It’s a ledger constant—like a cosmic checksum—tied to the absolute age and expansion.

🔒 Lock 3: Converting to Our Lab Clocks

But we don’t live in ABC time. Our clocks run on the lab time, which is tilted from the ABC direction by a fixed geometric angle:

I_{\rm clk} = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) \simeq 0.9239

This is QTT’s Time Tilt. It changes everything we measure—Hubble rate, cosmic age, even atomic transitions. The lab time interval is related to the ABC clock as:

dt_{\rm lab}^{(0)} = I_{\rm clk}\,dT

🔒 Lock 4: Lab Hubble Rate—No Tuning Required

Because of this tilt, the Hubble constant measured in lab time becomes:

H_0^{\rm (bg)} = \frac{H_{\tau0}}{I_{\rm clk}}

If T_0 = 15.4~\text{Gyr}, then:

H_{\tau 0} = \frac{1}{15.4} \simeq 63.5~\text{km/s/Mpc} H_0^{\rm (bg)} = \frac{63.5}{0.9239} \simeq 68.7~\text{km/s/Mpc}

That’s it. No curve-fitting. No dark energy tuning. Just tilt. This 68.7 prediction matches CMB-inferred Hubble values to percent-level accuracy.

🔒 Lock 5: Lab Cosmic Age—Still No Tuning

The lab-measured age of the Universe, from this same projection, becomes:

t_0^{\rm (bg)} = I_{\rm clk}\,T_0 = 0.9239 \times 15.4 \simeq 14.2~\text{Gyr}

Empirical estimates from stellar chronometers and \LambdaCDM fits give:

t_0^{\rm (obs)} \simeq 13.8~\text{Gyr}

Close, but slightly off. QTT explains this ~3% difference with a new clock effect…

🔒 Lock 6: Time Drift—The Silent Clock Effect

QTT introduces a third correction: Time Drift—a subtle slowdown of lab clocks due to the creation of new spacetime via White Voids. The full QTT time law is:

dt_{\rm lab} = I_{\rm clk} F_{\rm drift}(T,x) N_{\rm dil}(x^\mu,v)\,dT

In cosmology, where N_{\rm dil} \approx 1, we get:

t_0^{\rm (obs)} = I_{\rm clk}\,T_0 \times \bar{F}_{\rm drift}

Solving for drift:

\bar{F}_{\rm drift} \approx \frac{13.8}{0.9239 \times 15.4} \approx 0.97

This means a net drift of ~3% explains the age discrepancy—and it was predicted by QTT’s creation law, without adding a new parameter.

🔒 Lock 7: Invariant Product

Despite Tilt and Drift, the combination H_0 t_0 remains invariant:

H_{\tau0} T_0 = H_0^{(\mathcal W)} t_0^{(\mathcal W)} = 1

This identity is not a coincidence—it’s a QTT invariant, arising from coasting expansion on the ABC clock.

🔐 More locks in the next posts!: H, t, Ωb

In classical cosmology, these three quantities:

  • Hubble constant H_0
  • Cosmic age t_0
  • Baryon fraction \Omega_b

are all adjustable. In QTT, they are locked together by first principles:

  • H_{\tau0} = 1/T_0 from coasting
  • \Omega_b^{\rm abs} = 1/18 from the baryon ledger
  • H_0 = H_{\tau0}/I_{\rm clk}, \quad t_0 = I_{\rm clk} T_0 \cdot F_{\rm drift} from two-clock time geometry

There is no tuning. No new dark sector constants. Just geometry, creation, and capacity flow.

📌 Conclusion

The “18–Lock” isn’t just a number. It’s a : age, Hubble, and matter fraction are bound by a deeper time geometry. In QTT, the universe doesn’t need us to guess—it hands us the ledger and shows us what’s written.

15.4 Gyr age of universe. 1/18. 63.5. 68.7. 13.8. All one lock. All one Artian geometry.
