Impossible Galaxies, the Hubble Tension and the Ricci soliton miracle

The standard model of cosmology has recently begun to show signs of internal inconsistencies under the relentless onslaught of precision data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and other space based observation platforms as well as from those on the ground. The most statistically significant tension, the so called Hubble Tension, currently stands at between 4-sigma to 6-sigma statistical significance. The JWST high resolution images have revealed mature and sometimes quenched galaxies at high redshifts (z>11) which standard cosmological models have failed to both predict and explain. This is the impossible galaxies problem. These short comings of the standard models of cosmology have led to a plethora of new models attempting to explain the inconsistencies between theory and observations. Thus far, none of them adequately address these tensions. In this article, we demonstrate that by including a Ricci soliton into Einstein’s field equations, both tensions can be adequately resolved.
