We present a theory of weak gravity parameterized by a fundamental frequency $\omega_0 = \sqrt{1-q}H$ of the cosmoloogical horizon, where $H$ and $q$ denote the Hubble and, respectively, deceleration parameter. It predicts (i) a $C^0$ onset…
The nature of dark energy may be probed by the derivative $Q=\left.dq(z)/dz\right|_0$ at redshift $z=0$ of the deceleration parameter $q(z)$. It is probably static if $Q<1$ or dynamic if $Q>2.5$, supporting $\Lambda$CDM or, respectively,…
Galaxy dynamics probes weak gravity at accelerations below the de Sitter scale of acceleration $a_{dS}=cH$, where $c$ is the velocity of light and $H$ is the Hubble parameter. Low and high redshift galaxies hereby offer a novel probe of…
It is proposed that the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (bTFR) and JWST 'Impossible galaxies' at cosmic dawn are unified in weak gravity by the trace $J$ of the Schouten tensor below the Sitter scale of acceleration $a_{dS}=cH$, where $c$ is…

Using comoving distance $d_c$ and angular diameter distance $d_A$, we recalculate parameters describing kinematical state of the universe, still combining the kinematical model of universe but not relying on dynamical equations for gravity.…
Within the weak-field approximation of general relativity, new exact solutions are derived for the gravitational field of a mass moving with arbitrary velocity and acceleration. A mass having a constant velocity greater than 3^-1/2 times…
We point out that the physics at the extreme IR---cosmology---might provide tests of the physics of the extreme UV---the Weak Gravity Conjecture. The current discrepancies in the determination of $H_0$ may hint at a modification of…
An accurate determination of the Hubble constant remains a puzzle in observational cosmology. The possibility of a new physics has emerged with a significant tension between the current expansion rate of our Universe measured from the…
We outline a dynamical dark energy scenario whose signatures may be simultaneously tested by astronomical observations and laboratory experiments. The dark energy is a field with slightly sub-gravitational couplings to matter, a logarithmic…
We use a new deprojection formula to infer the gravitational potential around isolated galaxies from weak gravitational lensing. The results imply circular velocity curves that remain flat for hundreds of kpc, greatly extending the classic…
Coupled cosmologies can predict values for the cosmological parameters at low redshifts which may differ substantially from the parameters values within non-interacting cosmologies. Therefore, low redshift probes, as the growth of structure…
We compile an updated list of 38 measurements of the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ between redshifts $0.07 \leq z \leq 2.36$ and use them to place constraints on model parameters of constant and time-varying dark energy cosmological models, both…
In this article, we study the expanding nature of universe in the contest of $f(R,L_m)$ gravity theory, here $ R $ represents the Ricci scalar and $ L_m $ is the matter Lagrangian density. With a specific form of $ f(R,L_m) $, we obtain the…
Our cosmology contains Big Bang relic fluctuations by a loss of time-translation symmetry on a Hubble time scale. The contribution to the vacuum is identified with dynamical dark energy $\Lambda\simeq \alpha_p\Lambda_0$ by an IR coupling…
