Cosmology in NUVO Theory: Redshift, Expansion, and Structure Formation without Curved Spacetime - Part 8 of the NUVO Theory Series

This paper applies NUVO theory to cosmology, demonstrating how a flat-space scalar conformal field λ(t, r, v) can account for key cosmological observations typically attributed to spacetime curvature. We derive the redshift–distance relation, expansion rate history, and scalar-driven structure formation in a purely conformal background, offering an alternative to standard FLRW-based models without invoking dark energy or inflation.
