The existing CMB-based S 8 value is lowered to 0.765 through calculations incorporating the hypothesis proposed in this study, aligning with weak lensing observations. Simultaneously, the existing CMB-based Hubble constant H₀ is adjusted from 67.4 km/s/Mpc to 73.3 km/s/Mpc, matching late-universe measurements. These results suggest that the process of photon-to-matter conversion may serve as a fundamental mechanism underlying both density fluctuations and redshift. Through physical analysis, we demonstrate that cosmic redshift, density fluctuations, and even gravitational effects traditionally attributed to dark matter can all originate from photon-to-matter conversion. Therefore, a reinterpretation of the origins of dark energy, dark matter, baryon, and their density parameters, as well as the origin of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), is required. This study proposes that quantum oscillators can play a key role in this reinterpretation. This research suggests that redefining and reinterpreting the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) framework may alleviate cosmological tensions, highlighting the necessity of a quantum cosmological paradigm.
