Key Features

Codebase to reproduce results from Paper #16:
1. Entropy-Driven Cosmic Expansion
- Modified Hubble diagrams with TFM corrections.
2. Black Hole Ringdown Distortions
- Waveform generators for LIGO/Virgo comparisons.
3. CMB Non-Gaussian Anomalies
- Simulate high-ℓ CMB signatures from micro-Big Bangs.
4. Logistic Entropy Growth Model
- Quantum-to-classical entropy transition (Eq. 3).

Quick Start

1. Install Dependencies

bash pip install -r requirements.txt # numpy, scipy, astropy, healpy, h5py

2. Run Simulations

Black Hole Entropy Corrections (M87 Example):

bash python entropy_simulations/blackhole_entropy.py --mass 6.5e9

Supernova Hubble Deviations (z=0.7):

bash python supernova_hubble/hubble_deviation.py --redshift 0.7

CMB Non-Gaussianity Estimator:
