What is MRET?

The Mass Redistribution Expansion Theory (MRET) takes a radically different view of why the universe expands. Instead of invoking an invisible “dark energy” that pushes space apart, MRET proposes that expansion is driven by the movement of matter itself.

As mass flows into black holes and other dense structures, spacetime’s geometry is altered. The fabric of the universe doesn’t sit still, it stretches in response. In this view, expansion isn’t a mysterious extra force at all. It’s the natural, built-in response of spacetime to the redistribution of mass on the largest scales.

Why this matters

If true, MRET reshapes some of the biggest puzzles in cosmology. It offers a physical, testable mechanism for cosmic acceleration, without needing dark energy. It links the growth of black holes and superstructures directly to the stretching of the universe itself. And it suggests that cosmic expansion is not imposed from outside, but emerges from within the dynamics of matter and geometry.

Recent work

Our latest studies have uncovered a striking alignment between the universe’s black hole accretion history and the observed late-time expansion rate. This synchrony appears exactly where MRET predicts it should, pointing to a deep connection between the most extreme gravitational objects and the large-scale stretching of spacetime.

All of our work is independently developed and open-access, published through Zenodo for anyone to read, critique, or build upon.
