TAG Hypothesis (The Absolute Gravity Hypothesis) is a theoretical cosmological model proposing that the observable universe is not only expanding but also revolving around an unknown gravitational bulk (TAG). This hypothesis suggests that a hypermassive external gravitational source could influence cosmic motion, potentially explaining certain large-scale anomalies in cosmology.

The hypothesis was first proposed in 2025 by independent researcher Talib Ahmad Ganaie and published as a preprint on Zenodo.

Background

Standard cosmological models, such as the Big Bang theory and the Lambda-CDM model, describe the universe as expanding due to dark energy while being structured by dark matter. However, several large-scale anomalies challenge these views, including:

• Great Attractor – A gravitational anomaly pulling galaxies toward a specific region.
• Dark flow – The unexplained motion of galaxy clusters in a particular direction.
• CMB dipole anisotropy – A slight asymmetry in the cosmic microwave background radiation.

The TAG Hypothesis suggests that these anomalies might be explained by an external gravitational influence from a massive, yet-undetected structure beyond the observable universe.

Mathematical Framework

The TAG Hypothesis modifies Hubble's law by introducing an additional velocity component due to TAG’s weak gravitational pull:

$v=H_{0}d+\left({\frac {GM_{\text{TAG}}}{r}}\right)^{1/2}$

where:

• H_0 is the Hubble constant,
• M_{\text{TAG}} is the unknown mass of the TAG object,
• r is the distance from the observable universe’s center of mass to TAG.

This equation suggests that cosmic expansion is not purely linear but may include a rotational component around TAG.

Predictions and Observational Tests

If TAG exists, the following effects should be observable:

• Slight deviations in redshift data, indicating non-uniform cosmic expansion.
• Anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), suggesting a weak external gravitational influence.
• A measurable large-scale drift in galactic motion over billions of years.

Further studies in deep-space observations and galactic rotation curves could provide evidence for or against the TAG Hypothesis.

Possible TAG Candidates

The TAG Hypothesis suggests that the universe might be orbiting one of the following:

• A supermassive black hole beyond the observable universe.
• A higher-dimensional gravitational source from string theory.
• A relic of pre-Big Bang physics, influencing cosmic expansion.

Criticism and Challenges

The TAG Hypothesis faces several challenges:

• No Direct Observational Evidence – TAG has not yet been detected through telescopes or gravitational mapping.
• Conflicts with the Standard Model – Current cosmology does not require an external mass to explain expansion.
• Relies on Future Data – The theory’s validity depends on further redshift and galaxy motion measurements.
